What is the prescribed dose for the Light-activated gum care kit?
Short answer
Follow your prescribing physician’s directions and the label for the Light-activated gum care kit. The typical schedule is to rinse, then use the oral light device for 1 minute daily. Your prescription must specify the rinse amount and strength. Do not increase either part on your own.
Use the Light-activated gum care kit exactly as your prescribing physician directs and as the label states. The typical directions are to rinse, then use the oral light device for 1 minute daily. That schedule does not tell you how much rinse to use or its exact concentration. Check those details before your first treatment.
If the label, device guide, and visit instructions seem different, contact your prescriber or dispensing pharmacy. Ask them to explain the correct rinse amount, rinse time, light setting, and treatment schedule. Do not guess, dilute the rinse, or use extra treatment to make up for uncertainty.
A licensed physician or dentist in your state decides whether this treatment is appropriate. Tell them about your dental problems, health conditions, and all medicines you take. If your rinse is compounded, it is prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and is not FDA-approved. Keep the written directions with the kit so you can check them each day.
