For the record because of this nonsense I not only use a fluoride rinse but also use Prevident (high fluoride toothpaste) and Sensodyne with NOVOMIN as I genetically was blessed with soft enamel. I feel badly for children growing up without even basic exposure to fluoride because of crackpot antivaxx FB moms.

As someone with genetically shitty enamel AND bruxism, i'm double fucked

I only realized i'm living in a non-fluoride municipality a few years ago

What are my options for adding more fluoride to my teeth without poisoning myself or needing a prescription?

The Prevident toothpaste I mentioned is OTC in Canada as is the fluoride rinse. None of this is Rx has high fluoride products tend to be in the US

Colgate PreviDent - available at Shoppers Rexall London Drugs Jean Coutu etc not Walmart usually
OptiRinse Fluoride Rinse - available same places as above
Sensodyne Clinical Repair - this has fluoride and NOVOMIN a newer ingredient that repairs enamel

I use the PreviDent at night and the Sensodyne in the morning. I also have bruxism managed now with a mouthguard, medication, and improved by orthodontic work.

The above combo with use of the OptiRinse once or twice a week has saved my enamel and slowed down the expanse of my extensive collection of dental work (crowns implants etc)

Note that the Prevident is expensive for toothpaste but a lot cheaper than a root canal or crown so I go with it
