Allday 5000 is a prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste manufactured by Elevate Oral Care. Its active ingredient is sodium fluoride 1.1% — equivalent to 5000 ppm (parts per million) fluoride ion — which is five times the concentration found in standard over-the-counter toothpastes (typically 1000–1500 ppm). It is classified as a human prescription drug with NDC 57511-0005.
The "5000" in the name refers to this 5000 ppm fluoride concentration. Allday 5000 is available in two formulations: the standard Allday 5000 (mild mint, 44% xylitol), and Allday 5000 Sensitive (38% xylitol plus 5% potassium nitrate for tooth sensitivity relief). Both are SLS-free and formulated with a glycolipid surfactant and neutral pH of approximately 7.0.
Allday 5000 is primarily distributed through dental offices by Elevate Oral Care, which means it may not be readily available at retail pharmacies. Patients who receive a prescription for Allday 5000 may need to request a special order at their pharmacy or purchase directly from their dentist's office.

Allday 5000 prevents cavities through three complementary mechanisms. First, fluoride ions are absorbed into the hydroxyapatite crystals that make up tooth enamel, converting them to fluorapatite — a harder, more acid-resistant mineral. This fortifies the enamel against the acids produced by cavity-causing bacteria.
Second, high-concentration fluoride promotes remineralization — the process of redepositing calcium and phosphate minerals back into areas of early enamel damage (white spot lesions). This allows prescription fluoride toothpaste to arrest and partially reverse early tooth decay before it becomes a cavity requiring a filling.
Third, sodium fluoride inhibits enzymes in Streptococcus mutans and other cavity-causing bacteria, reducing their acid production. Allday 5000's 44% xylitol content — the highest of any prescription fluoride toothpaste — further inhibits bacterial growth and stimulates saliva production, making it especially effective for dry mouth patients.

Sensitive formulation — use twice daily (morning and evening). Contains 38% xylitol, potassium nitrate for sensitivity relief
Allday 5000 is not on the FDA's drug shortage list as of 2026, but it can be difficult to find at retail pharmacies. Elevate Oral Care distributes Allday 5000 primarily through dental offices and specialty dental channels — not retail pharmacy chains. As a result, major pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart typically do not stock it on their shelves.
Patients who need Allday 5000 should start by asking their dentist's office if they carry it directly. Alternatively, most pharmacies can place a special order for Allday 5000 (NDC: 57511-0005) with arrival typically in 1–3 business days. For standard caries prevention, dentists may also authorize a substitution with a generic sodium fluoride 1.1% product or PreviDent 5000, which are widely available.
Rather than calling pharmacies yourself, medfinder is a paid service that calls pharmacies near you to check which ones can fill your Allday 5000 prescription and texts you the results.
Allday 5000 is not a controlled substance, so it can be prescribed by any licensed healthcare provider in the United States without DEA authorization. It does not require a specialist — your general dentist can prescribe it at your regular checkup appointment.
Providers who commonly prescribe Allday 5000 include:
General dentists (most common prescribers)
Periodontists (gum disease specialists)
Pediatric dentists (for children 6 years and older at high caries risk)
Orthodontists (for patients in braces with elevated white spot lesion risk)
Endodontists
Primary care physicians and internists (especially for patients with medication-induced dry mouth)
Nurse practitioners and physician assistants
Tele-dentistry services are available in some states and can prescribe non-controlled dental medications including Allday 5000. Some telehealth primary care platforms can also prescribe sodium fluoride 1.1% toothpaste for patients with medically indicated dry mouth or high caries risk.
No. Allday 5000 is not a DEA-scheduled controlled substance. It is classified as a prescription-only medication due to its high fluoride concentration (1.1% / 5000 ppm), but it carries no special scheduling requirements under the Controlled Substances Act.
Because Allday 5000 is not controlled, it can be prescribed by any licensed healthcare provider including dentists, periodontists, pediatric dentists, orthodontists, primary care physicians, and nurse practitioners. No DEA registration is required to prescribe it. Prescriptions may be written, called in, or sent electronically, and may be refilled without the restrictions that apply to controlled substances.
Allday 5000 is well-tolerated by most patients when used as directed. Common side effects include:
Mouth and gum irritation (mild, usually resolves in first 1–2 weeks)
Excessive salivation after use
Lip inflammation or irritation
Canker sores in susceptible patients (less common than with SLS-containing toothpastes)
Serious side effects are rare with correct topical use but can occur if the product is swallowed:
White patches or staining on teeth (sign of fluoride overuse — stop and contact dentist)
If swallowed in large amounts: nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, burning sensation
Allergic reaction (rare): swelling of mouth, throat, or tongue — seek urgent care
Keep Allday 5000 out of reach of children at all times. If a child ingests a significant amount, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.

PreviDent 5000 (Colgate)
The most widely prescribed prescription fluoride toothpaste. Available in several variants including Plus, Booster Plus, Dry Mouth, and Sensitive. Same 1.1% sodium fluoride active ingredient; most pharmacies carry it in stock. Generic versions available for $2–$12 with GoodRx coupons.
Clinpro 5000 (3M)
Prescription 1.1% sodium fluoride toothpaste with added functionalized tricalcium phosphate (fTCP) for enhanced fluoride delivery to tooth surfaces. Uses SLS, which may be less suitable for dry mouth or sensitive tissue patients.
Generic Sodium Fluoride 1.1% (Denta 5000 Plus, SF 5000 Plus)
The most affordable option. Same active ingredient as Allday 5000 at the same concentration. Widely available at retail pharmacies for $15–$25 retail or $2–$12 with discount coupons. Best for patients where the specific Allday 5000 inactive formula is not critical.

Other fluoride products (prescription gels, trays, rinses)
moderateCombining Allday 5000 with other prescription fluoride products can increase total fluoride exposure beyond recommended levels. Do not use concurrently with other prescription fluoride treatments without dental guidance.
Oral fluoride supplements
moderateConcurrent use of oral fluoride supplements with Allday 5000 should be monitored, especially in children, to avoid excessive fluoride intake that could contribute to dental fluorosis.
Calcium-rich foods/supplements (in case of ingestion)
minorCalcium reduces fluoride absorption in the event of accidental swallowing. This is protective, not harmful — milk or calcium-rich foods are recommended if accidental ingestion occurs.
Allday 5000 is a specialized, effective prescription fluoride toothpaste with several formulation advantages — particularly its high xylitol content, SLS-free formula, and neutral pH — that make it the preferred choice for many dry mouth patients and those with sensitive oral tissues. For patients at high caries risk, the evidence base for 1.1% sodium fluoride toothpaste is strong and well-established.
The main challenge with Allday 5000 is access — it's not widely stocked at retail pharmacies because Elevate Oral Care distributes primarily through dental offices. Patients should start by asking their dentist's office to dispense it directly. If that's not possible, requesting a pharmacy special order with the NDC number (57511-0005) is the next best step. For patients who cannot get Allday 5000, any generic sodium fluoride 1.1% toothpaste provides the same core cavity-prevention benefit.
If you're spending time calling pharmacies trying to fill your Allday 5000 prescription, medfinder is a paid service that does that for you — calling pharmacies near you and texting you results, so you can spend your time on what matters.
