Taking Previ Dent For Loose Bridge. Have Rash On Inner Thigh. Side Effects?

I have been using Previ Dent 5000 for over a month for a loose bridge that will soon be fixed. I broke out with a
large very warm pink patch on my inner calf six days ago. I was painful and sore and I went to the doctors and was
treated for inflammation using Ibuprofen twice a day. Today it moved to my inner thigh in a larger blotch. I didn't
think at the time it could be related to the Previ Dent but could it?
I noticed while reading about the side effects that you should only use this for a period of 4 weeks. My dentist said it
was o.k. to continue using it until the bridge is fixed. What do you say?

hello and welcome to HCM forum,
I would like to inform you that Prevident 5000 does not cause skin rashes, I do not feel that the red patch is from Prevident, but I will recommend you to see a dermatologist first.
It is okay to use prevident 5000 for a month and then wait for a week, after which you can use it again. I will suggest you to give a break for a week and start using it again.
I hope this answer was useful to some extent,
Thank you for writing to us,
i wish you good health,
take care.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

As you had mentioned,the rashes on inner thigh may not be due to use of previ-dent.

I would suggest you to discontinue prevident for a week and check whether there is any change in progression of rashes.

Maintain oral hygiene well.

Visit a physician if symtoms persists.

Take care.
