rats treated with 2.5 and 4.1 mg/kg of body weight. In a second study, no carcinogenesis was observed in rats, males or females, treated with fluoride up
to 11.3 mg/kg of body weight. Epidemiological data provide no credible evidence for an association between fluoride, either naturally occurring or added
to drinking water, and risk of human cancer. Fluoride ion is not mutagenic in standard bacterial systems. It has been shown that fluoride ion has potential
to induce chromosome aberrations in cultured human and rodent cells at doses much higher than those to which humans are exposed. In vivo data are
conflicting. Some studies report chromosome damage in rodents, while other studies using similar protocols report negative results. Potential adverse
reproductive effects of fluoride exposure in humans has not been adequately evaluated. Adverse effects on reproduction were reported for rats, mice, fox,
and cattle exposed to 100 ppm or greater concentrations of fluoride in their diet or drinking water. Other studies conducted in rats demonstrated that
lower concentrations of fluoride (5 mg/kg of body weight) did not result in impaired fertility and reproductive capabilities.

PRECAUTIONS:
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility: No carcinogenesis was found in mice or female rats treated with fluoride at doses ranging
from 4.1 to 9.1 mg/kg of body weight. Equivocal evidence of carcinogenesis was reported in male rats treated with 2.5 and 4.1 mg/kg of body weight. In
another study, no carcinogenesis was observed in rats treated with fluoride up to 11.3 mg/kg of body weight. Epidemiological data provide no credible
evidence for an association between fluoride, either naturally occurring or added to drinking water, and risk of human cancer.
Fluoride ion is not mutagenic in standard bacterial systems but has been associated with chromosome aberrations in cultured human and rodent cells
at doses much higher than expected human exposures. Some in vivo report chromosome damage in rodents while other studies using similar protocols
report negative results.
Potential adverse reproductive effects of fluoride exposure in humans has not been adequately evaluated. Adverse effects on reproduction were reported
for rats, mice, fox, and cattle exposed to 100 ppm or greater concentrations of fluoride in their diet or drinking water. Other studies conducted in rats
demonstrated that lower concentrations of fluoride (5 mg/kg of body weight) did not result in impaired fertility and reproductive capabilities
fluoride/kg of body weight (rats) or 13.1 mg/kg of body weight (rabbits) did not affect litter size or fetal weight and did not increase frequency of skeletal
or visceral malformations. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. However, epidemiological studies conducted in areas
with high levels of naturally fluoridated water showed no increase in birth defects. Heavy exposure to fluoride during in utero development may result in
skeletal fluorosis which becomes evident in childhood.
Pediatric Use: The use of PreviDent® Rinse as a weekly caries preventive in pediatric patients aged 6 to 16 years is supported by adequate and
well-controlled clinical studies in students aged 6 to 12 years.1-3 Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 6 years have not been
established. Please refer to the CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS sections.
ADVERSE REACTIONS: In patients with mucositis, gingival tissues may be hypersensitive to flavor or alcohol present in formulation. Allergic reactions
and other idiosyncrasies are rarely reported.
These symptoms may persist for 24 hours. If less than 5 mg fluoride/kg body weight (i.e., less than 2.3 mg fluoride/lb body weight) has been ingested,
than 2.3 mg fluoride/lb body weight) has been ingested, induce vomiting, give orally soluble calcium (e.g., milk, 5% calcium gluconate or calcium lactate
solution) and immediately seek medical assistance. For accidental ingestion of more than 15 mg fluoride/kg of body weight (i.e., more than 6.9 mg
fluoride/lb body weight), induce vomiting and admit immediately to a hospital facility.
A treatment dose (10 mL or two teaspoonfuls) of PreviDent® Rinse contains approximately 9 mg fluoride. One 16 fl. oz. bottle contains approximately 429
mg fluoride.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: For caries — Adults and pediatric patients over age 6 years, 2 teaspoonfuls (10 mL). Once a week, preferably at
bedtime after thoroughly brushing the teeth, rinse vigorously around and between the teeth for one minute, then expectorate. DO NOT SWALLOW. For
maximum benefit, do not eat, drink, or rinse mouth for at least 30 minutes afterwards.

teeth to aid in the prevention of decalcification and dental caries. This is accomplished by increasing the
resistance of tooth surfaces to acid dissolution.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Do not use in pediatric patients under age 12 years unless recommended by a dentist or physician. Not for systemic treatment.
WARNINGS: Pediatric patients under 12 years of age should be supervised in the use of this product. Prolonged daily ingestion may result in various
degrees of dental fluorosis in pediatric patients under age 6 years, especially in areas with high fluoride concentration in drinking water. Use in pediatric
patients under age 6 required special supervision to prevent repeated swallowing of rinse. Do not use before mixing with water. This product may
produce temporary surface staining of teeth. Adequate brushing may prevent these stains which are not harmful or permanent and may be removed by
your dentist. Read directions carefully before using. Keep out of reach of infants and children.
PRECAUTIONS:
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility: In a study conducted in rodents, no carcinogenesis was found in mice or female rats treated
with fluoride at doses ranging from 4.1 to 9.1 mg/kg of body weight. Equivocal evidence of carcinogenesis was reported in male rats treated with
2.5 and 4.1 mg/kg of body weight. In another study, no carcinogenesis was observed in rats treated with fluoride up to 11.2 mg/kg of body weight.
Epidemiological data provide no credible evidence for an association between fluoride, either naturally occurring or added to drinking water, and risk
of human cancer.
Fluoride ion is not mutagenic in standard bacterial systems. It has been shown that fluoride ion is not mutagenic in standard bacterial systems. It has
been shown that fluoride ion has potential to induce chromosomes aberrations in cultured human and rodent cells at doses much higher than those
to which humans are exposed. In vitro data are conflicting. Some studies report chromosome damage in rodents while other studies using similar

administered is incorporated in fetal tissue.
Animal studies (rats, mice, rabbits) have shown that fluoride is not a teratogen. Maternal exposure to 12.2 mg fluoride/kg of body weight (rats) or 13.1
mg/kg of body weight (rabbits) did not affect the litter size or fetal weight and did not increase frequency of skeletal or visceral malformations. There
are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. However, epidemiological studies conducted in areas with high levels of naturally
fluoridated water showed no increase in birth defects. Heavy exposure to fluoride during in utero development may result in skeletal fluorosis which
becomes evident in childhood.
Nursing Mothers: It is not known if fluoride is excreted in human milk. However, many drugs are excreted in milk and caution should be exercised
when products containing fluoride are administered to a nursing woman. Reduced milk production was reported in farm-raised fox when the animals
were fed a diet containing a high concentration of fluoride (98-137 mg/kg of body weight). No adverse effects on parturition, lactation, or offspring
were seen in rats administered fluoride up to 5 mg/kg of body weight.
Pediatric Use: The use of Gel-Kam® Oral Rinse as a weekly caries preventive in pediatric patients aged 12 to 16 years is supported by adequate and
well-controlled study in school children.1 Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 12 have not been established. Please refer to
the CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS sections.
ADVERSE REACTIONS: Allergic reactions and other idiosyncrasies are rarely reported.
These symptoms may persist for 24 hours. If less than 5 mg fluoride/kg body weight (i.e., less than 2.3 mg fluoride/lb body weight) has been ingested,
than 2.3 mg fluoride/lb body weight) has been ingested, induce vomiting, give orally soluble calcium (e.g., milk, 5% calcium gluconate or calcium
mg fluoride/lb body weight), induce vomiting and admit immediately to a hospital facility.
A treatment dose (two one-minute applications) of Gel-Kam® Rinse contains approximately 7.1 mg fluoride. One 10 oz. bottle contains approximately
436 mg fluoride.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Adults and pediatric patients 12 years and older: use at least daily or more often as directed, following regular
brushing and flossing. Pour the concentrated Rinse to the 1/8 fluid ounce mark in the mixing vial (to bottom mark). Add water to the 1 fl. oz. mark
and mix. This prepares a 0.1% (w/v) stannous fluoride rinse. Use immediately after preparing the rinse. Place one half of the solution into the mouth
and vigorously swish for 1 minute, then expectorate. Repeat the one-minute treatment with the remaining solution and expectorate. Pediatric patients
under 12 years of age: consult a dentist or physician. Pediatric patients under 12 years of age should be supervised in the use of this product. For Home
Irrigators: Prepare 1 fl. oz. of Rinse as described above. Pour into irrigator reservoir and add 4 more fluid ounces of water. Mix thoroughly. This prepares
a 0.02% (w/v) stannous fluoride rinse. Use irrigator as directed. Rinse the irrigator with water after use.
