Colgate Fluorigard Gel is a fluoride dental gel indicated for the prevention and treatment of dental caries and decalcification of teeth. It contains stannous fluoride 0.4% w/w (1000ppm F).

Stannous and fluoride ions interact with the dentine surface to form a long-lasting, fluoride-rich mineral layer which helps remineralise enamel and dentine and protects the tooth surface against acid attack.
