Gel Kam Information:

Gel Kam (Fluoride) is a substance that strengthens tooth enamel. This helps to prevent dental cavities. Gel Kam (Fluoride) topical is used as a medication to prevent tooth decay in patients that have a low level of fluoride topical in their drinking water. Fluoride topical is also used to prevent tooth decay in patients who undergo radiation of the head and/ or neck, which may cause dryness of the mouth and an increased incidence of tooth decay.

Gel Kam Precautions:

Gel Kam topical should not be used if the level of fluoride topical in the drinking water is greater than 0.7 ppm. Before using fluoride topical, tell your dentist and doctor if you are on a low salt or a salt free diet. You may not be able to use fluoride topical, or you may require special monitoring during treatment. If you have gum disease, some forms of Gel Kam topical may be irritating to the gums. Talk to your dentist or doctor if you notice oral irritation. Talk to your doctor and dentist before using fluoride if you are pregnant. Talk to your doctor and dentist before using fluoride topical if you are breast-feeding. The American Dental Association's Council on Dental Therapeutics recommends the use of fluoride by children up to 13 years of age; the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends fluoride supplementation by children until the age of 16 years of age. The 1 mg/ 5 mL strength rinse is not recommended for use as a supplement by children younger than 6 years of age.
