I reluctantly agreed to have a sealant (containing the dreaded fluoride) on a v sensitive tooth today out of desperation. It has not adhered some 3 hours later and feels all gooey. I am desperate to eat as am hypoG. it was supposed to set in 1 hour which clearly it wont.
Shall i brush it off or shall i rinse with warm salt water to get it off? Dont want to swallow it

I have had that procedure too recently Bluedaffodil, (like you having amalgams replaced), but can't help you as mine hardened OK. Maybe enough of yours has acted and it's just the residue that is sticky.
However sadly in my case I reckon it interacted badly with my Lichen Planus in my mouth and though the sensitivity reduced in the tooth I got sore gums instead.
I agreed to letting my daughter have this, I had no idea and was not told it had fluoride in it. If I had known I'd have never agreed to it. I hate how some health professionals think they have the right to decide for us. It should be a case of informed consent!
