Ditto, Walkinaround. I have a bottle of it too purchased in London. I suspect the OP's might be stronger fluoride so I still say she should decant it into small bottles, put them in a zip-lock & place in the checked luggage.

The bottle that the rinse comes in only decants the amount needed for each rinse.
So I guess we will have to bring it
Thanks
Melissa

sounds like an over-engineered solution....this "feature" creates more landfill waste and is unfriendly to the traveller.

How about measuring the amount that the bottle decants into a small medicine cup (available at any pharmacy). Bring the flouride rinse in a smaller bottle along with the small medicine cup. These medicine cups have marks with measure amounts on them, so based on the number of days you will be gone, you would be able to calculate the exact amount you need to bring!

But, walkinaround, that's the American way.

Just a suggestion, but, if you don't want to bring the whole bottle, they sell small, ziploc type baggies for medicine. They are about the size of a credit card. I believe I picked mine up at CVS or Walgreens. Perhaps you could dispense one dose into each baggie and take them that way?

Ask your dentist for a prescription for Prevident made by Colgate. It is a fluoride paste or gel. You use it once a day after brushing just like a flouride rinse. The regular size tube should last 6 months.
