If they add some stannous fluoride and make it foamy I'd probably try it.
The Verdict: The gel, called Livionex, removed plaque better than Colgate Total—a popular product used as a comparison—in a study at the University of California, Irvine. The results look promising, but longer studies with more subjects are needed, particularly since the new gel doesn’t contain fluoride, dentists say.
“Fluoride has 150 years of solid research proving that it does prevent cavities and tooth decay,” says Sally Cram, a Washington, D.C., periodontist and a spokeswoman for the American Dental Association. If you’re thinking about trying the new gel, Dr. Cram suggests talking to your dentist about your risk for tooth decay and considering using fluoride mouthwash along with it. [0]

- Logon90 6y agoWow, can't believe they are still pushing the fluoride thing. It's almost as if they cannot handle the cognitive dissonance of people having good dental results without fluoride. Certainly not 150 years of solid research, more like, since WWII, when the goverment got sued by fluoride laborers.
