What is Omnii Gel?
Fluoride is a substance that strengthens tooth enamel. This helps to prevent dental cavities.
Omnii Gel is used as a medication to prevent tooth decay in patients that have a low level of fluoride topical in their drinking water. Fluoride topical is also used to prevent tooth decay in patients who undergo radiation of the head and/or neck, which may cause dryness of the mouth and an increased incidence of tooth decay.
Fluoride may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
