Prevident 5000 Coupons & Prices

Looking for a PreviDent 5000 coupon? PreviDent 5000 is a prescription-strength 1.1% sodium fluoride (5,000 ppm) toothpaste or gel used to help prevent cavities and remineralize weakened tooth enamel and exposed root surfaces. It's often prescribed for people at high risk for tooth decay, including those with dry mouth, braces, or a history of frequent cavities. Because it requires a prescription, you can use an Rx.com cash coupon to save at the pharmacy counter, even without insurance. Enter your ZIP code above to see today's price at pharmacies near you.

What is PreviDent 5000 and how does it work?

PreviDent 5000 is a family of prescription-strength fluoride dental products made with 1.1% sodium fluoride, which equals about 5,000 parts per million (ppm) of fluoride. That is far more fluoride than an over-the-counter toothpaste. The extra fluoride helps rebuild (remineralize) enamel that has started to weaken and makes teeth more resistant to the acids that cause cavities. It is used as an aid in preventing dental caries in adults and children ages 6 and older.

There are several formulations to fit different needs:

• PreviDent 5000 Plus and PreviDent 5000 Booster Plus - everyday prescription-strength cavity prevention.
• PreviDent 5000 Sensitive - adds 5% potassium nitrate to help reduce tooth sensitivity to cold, heat, sweets, and acids (for ages 12 and older).
• PreviDent 5000 Dry Mouth - formulated to support remineralization in people with xerostomia (dry mouth).

Dentists commonly prescribe it for patients with dry mouth, orthodontic appliances, exposed roots, xerostomia caused by medications or radiation, or a history of frequent cavities.

PreviDent 5000 cost: manufacturer savings vs. Rx.com cash coupon

Colgate, the maker of PreviDent 5000, does not offer a standard manufacturer copay savings card for this product the way many brand-name prescription drugs do. Even when a brand does run a savings program, those cards are generally limited to people with commercial (non-government) insurance, and the terms vary and can change at any time. That leaves cash-pay shoppers, uninsured patients, and people on Medicare or Medicaid without a good option through the manufacturer.

An Rx.com cash coupon is different: it works whether or not you have insurance, and it is especially useful if you are uninsured, on Medicare, or if a savings card is declined at the counter. You simply present the coupon at the pharmacy to pay the discounted cash price. The biggest savings lever here is the generic: PreviDent 5000 is prescription-strength 1.1% sodium fluoride, and lower-cost generic 1.1% sodium fluoride dentifrices are widely available and usually cost much less than the brand. Ask your dentist or pharmacist whether a generic is right for you. Enter your ZIP code above to see today's price at pharmacies near you.

Alternatives and related fluoride products

PreviDent 5000 is one of several prescription-strength 1.1% sodium fluoride dentifrices. If your dentist prescribes prescription-strength fluoride, you may be offered a comparable product or a lower-cost generic. Related options include:

• Clinpro 5000 - a prescription 1.1% sodium fluoride toothpaste that also contains functionalized tricalcium phosphate.
• Denta 5000 Plus - another prescription-strength 1.1% sodium fluoride toothpaste.
• Sodium fluoride - the active ingredient; lower-cost generic 1.1% sodium fluoride dentifrices are available and are usually the lowest-cost choice.
• Fluoride - the broader class of fluoride dental products, including prescription and over-the-counter forms.

These products all deliver the same 1.1% sodium fluoride strength, so the main differences come down to added ingredients (such as potassium nitrate for sensitivity or tricalcium phosphate), flavor, and price. Your dentist or pharmacist can tell you which is the best fit and whether a lower-cost generic is appropriate.

Safety and how to use PreviDent 5000

PreviDent 5000 is for topical use only - do not swallow it. Use only a thin ribbon (about pea-sized) on a toothbrush, typically once daily in place of your regular toothpaste (follow your dentist's directions). For the best effect, do not eat, drink, or rinse for 30 minutes after brushing. It is not for children under 6 unless directed by a dentist or physician, because young children who swallow too much fluoride while their teeth are developing can get dental fluorosis (mottling of the teeth). Keep it out of reach of children, and if a large amount is accidentally swallowed, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. With the Sensitive formulation, if tooth sensitivity persists beyond 4 weeks, see your dentist. PreviDent 5000 has no boxed warning.

Note: In May 2025 the FDA announced its intent to remove ingestible (swallowed) prescription fluoride supplements for children from the market. That action concerns systemic fluoride supplements you swallow, not topical dentifrices like PreviDent 5000, which stay in the mouth and are spit out.
