Use small dose .3-.5 mL application 2-4x a year. Not for home use, can use on infants and children with less ingestion that gel!

Would you recommend a fl rinse to a 5 year old?

No, they should be a little older 6 is better. That way they don't swallow.

Safely tolerated dose

1/4 the certain lethal dose (cld)

Stannous Fluoride

Unstable, must be mixed, stains demin areas and margins of tooth colored restorations, causes gingival sloughing
