ACT mouthrinse

ACT mouthrinse contains 0.05% sodium fluoride which is the highest concentration of sodium fluoride rinse available over the counter.  Since most ACT does not contain alcohol, I often recommend ACT for patients suffering from xerostomia caused by medication use, radiation therapy, or use of CPAP for the treatment of Sleep Apnea.

The study results showed that the daily use of the fluoride mouthrinse(ACT) significantly increased the number of reversed carious lesions.
