One fluoride is not better than the other. Stannous fluoride has a tendency to stain, which is why sodium fluoride is more popular. Do not combine, separate applications especially if using a high fluoride product like Prevident. A suggestion, have the patient use the high fluoride in the AM and MI Paste in the PM. Again with the high dose you want to separate treatment, you may want to wait 2 – 3 hours.
