I've been prescribed Sod Fluoride 5000 1.1% Paste/fruit by my dentist to help prevent cavities, but I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects, especially the severe ones. Has anyone else used this and had any issues? I've read about possible allergic reactions and stomach issues, which are pretty scary. The doctor said to use it once a day at bedtime, but I'm not sure if it's worth the risk. Has anyone had a good experience with this?

I was recently prescribed Denta 5000 Plus Cream 51gm by my dentist to help prevent cavities. I'm at high risk for them due to my diet and genetics. The toothpaste has a high amount of fluoride, and you're supposed to use it once a day, usually before bed, instead of your regular toothpaste. It's been a few weeks, and I'm not sure if I'm noticing any difference. I have been brushing well, but I'm worried about the possible side effects. I've read about allergic reactions and severe stomach upset. Anyone else tried this? I need some real-life experiences and opinions on this product. My dentist made it sound like Denta 5000 Plus Cream 51gm is a miracle cure, but I'm not sold yet.
