A Theoretical Study on the Effects of Dental Fluoride Usage the Effects of Dental Fluoride Usage
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract
Dental caries are commonly prevented by applying dental products containing Fluoride, which decreases and promotes enamel demineralization and remineralization, respectively. Therefore, this study focuses on various usage of dental fluorides and their effects. The prevention procedure is always achieved by topical application of fluoride products such as toothpaste, mouth rinse, gel, and varnish, in addition to the systematic application of Fluoride. In some countries, Fluoride is commonly added to water, salt, and milk to prevent teeth caries. Meanwhile, Fluoride is also prescribed as a medical treatment for early dental caries. However, Fluoride is a double-edged sword, and the excessive intake of Fluoride will cause toxic reactions and lead to dental fluorosis, especially during tooth development.
