3M Clinpro™ 5000 is a high concentration sodium fluoride toothpaste for use by patients who have a high risk of dental decay (caries) as part of a caries prevention programme. Scientific research concludes that when toothpaste containing a relatively high amount of fluoride is applied to the teeth, it offers increased protection against acid attack from decay causing bacteria in the mouth.
