Clinpro 5000
Clinpro 5000 is a prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste containing sodium fluoride at a concentration of 1.1% (5000 ppm fluoride). It is primarily used for the prevention and treatment of dental caries (cavities) in patients at high risk for tooth decay. This toothpaste provides enhanced protection by strengthening tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria, sugars, and acids found in food and drinks. Clinpro 5000 is typically recommended for individuals with a history of frequent cavities, those undergoing orthodontic treatment, or individuals with conditions that lead to a dry mouth, which increases the risk of decay.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I use Clinpro 5000?
Clinpro 5000 is typically used as part of a long-term preventive care routine for individuals at high risk of cavities. Your dentist will determine how long you should continue using it based on your oral health.
Can I use regular toothpaste along with Clinpro 5000?
No, you should use Clinpro 5000 in place of regular toothpaste. Using both would not provide additional benefits and could lead to excessive fluoride exposure.
Is Clinpro 5000 safe for children?
Clinpro 5000 should not be used in children under 6 years old. For older children, it should be used only under the guidance of a dentist to ensure the correct dosage and to prevent the risk of swallowing.
What should I do if I accidentally swallow Clinpro 5000?
If a small amount is swallowed, there is usually no cause for concern. However, if a large amount is ingested, contact your healthcare provider or a poison control center immediately.
Can I eat or drink immediately after using Clinpro 5000?
No, it is recommended to avoid eating, drinking, or rinsing your mouth for at least 30 minutes after brushing with Clinpro 5000 to allow the fluoride to effectively protect your teeth.
Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Clinpro 5000 Work?
Clinpro 5000 works by delivering a high concentration of fluoride to the teeth. Fluoride helps to remineralize weakened tooth enamel and prevents the demineralization that leads to cavities. It promotes the formation of fluorapatite, a harder and more resistant form of tooth enamel, which helps protect against acid erosion and bacterial damage.
Common Dosages
Clinpro 5000 is available as a fluoride toothpaste containing 1.1% sodium fluoride (5000 ppm fluoride). It comes in a 4-ounce tube for daily use.
For cavity prevention: Use a pea-sized amount of Clinpro 5000 once daily in place of regular toothpaste. Brush thoroughly for two minutes and then spit out the toothpaste. Do not rinse, eat, or drink for at least 30 minutes after brushing to allow the fluoride to remain on the teeth and provide maximum protection.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
Prevention and treatment of dental caries (cavities) in individuals at high risk for tooth decay.
Who Shouldn't Take Clinpro 5000?
- Known hypersensitivity to fluoride or any component of the formulation
- Children under 6 years of age (due to the risk of fluoride ingestion)
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Use Clinpro 5000 as directed by your dentist or healthcare provider. A pea-sized amount is sufficient for each brushing session.
- Avoid swallowing the toothpaste. Spit it out after brushing, and do not rinse your mouth immediately after to allow the fluoride to stay on the teeth.
- Store the toothpaste out of reach of children. Ingesting large amounts of fluoride can be harmful, especially for children under 6 years old.
- If you experience any unusual side effects, such as oral irritation or gastrointestinal discomfort, stop using the product and consult your dentist or healthcare provider.
Side Effects of Clinpro 5000
Common Side Effects
- Temporary tooth sensitivity
- Mild oral irritation or discomfort
- Altered taste
Uncommon/Severe Side Effects
- Fluorosis (from chronic overuse of fluoride, especially in children)
- Gastrointestinal discomfort (if accidentally swallowed)
Risks and Warnings of Clinpro 5000
- Fluorosis: Overuse of fluoride products can lead to dental fluorosis, which causes changes in the appearance of the tooth enamel, particularly in children under 8 years old. This condition is characterized by white spots or streaks on the teeth. To prevent fluorosis, use Clinpro 5000 only as directed and ensure that children under 6 years do not use it.
- Swallowing Risk: Clinpro 5000 is for topical use only and should not be ingested. If a large amount is accidentally swallowed, contact your healthcare provider or a poison control center immediately.
- Sensitivity: Some users may experience temporary tooth sensitivity after starting treatment with Clinpro 5000. If sensitivity persists or worsens, consult your dentist.
Interactions with Clinpro 5000
Common Drug Interactions
- Fluoride Supplements: Using Clinpro 5000 alongside fluoride supplements (e.g., fluoride tablets or rinses) may lead to excessive fluoride exposure. Consult your dentist if you are using additional fluoride products.
- Calcium-Containing Products: Avoid using Clinpro 5000 immediately before or after consuming calcium-rich products (such as dairy) or using calcium-based oral products, as calcium can reduce fluoride absorption.
Alternatives to Clinpro 5000
- Prevident 5000 (Sodium Fluoride Toothpaste): A similar prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste used to prevent and treat dental caries.
- Fluoride Rinses: Over-the-counter fluoride mouth rinses, like ACT fluoride rinse, provide fluoride protection but at a lower concentration than Clinpro 5000.
- Standard Fluoride Toothpastes: Regular over-the-counter fluoride toothpastes (containing 1000-1450 ppm fluoride) are available for individuals with lower risk of cavities.
