Fluoride therapy

nuggets, chicken soup, ground chicken etc. Beverages with Fluoride Fluoride has been known to be associated with have radiation development in the water supply. (Bukro, C., 1975).Fluoridated water is a known beverage to contain fluoride, but there are other drinks that contain just as must fluoride. Most beverages are also made of water which would make sense to why it also has fluoride. Tea also is a fluoridated drink. It has fluoride based pesticides in the teas leaves. Another major…

To prevent tooth decay, many people put their trust in fluoride, which is a very common chemical in toothpaste, mouthwashes and is even added to our water supplies. This practise adjusts the natural fluoride concentration of water to that recommended for improving health. For years, people have believed that fluoride in small doses presents no effects on health and has even proven benefits to strengthening the enamel of teeth, preventing decay and tooth loss. But with the increase in research,…

water quality characteristic I have chosen fluoride. Here in Vancouver, WA the water is fluoridated using sodium fluoride of about 0.6-0.8 milligrams per liter. Most water supplies contain naturally occurring fluoride and many communities add fluoride to water. The decision for fluoride to be added to Vancouver's drinking water occurred in 1962 and ever since then has been fluoridated in compliance with Vancouver Municipal Code and EPA standards. Fluoride is an important characteristic of water…

fluoridation is a fairly simple chemical process. Almost 95 percent of the fluoride used in fluoridation is found from phosphorite rock. It is added to…

Should water fluoridation be implemented internationally? Water fluoridation refers to the controlled addition of fluoride to a public water supply to reduce tooth decay, usually accomplished by adding sodium fluoride, fluorosilicic acid or sodium fluorosilicate to water of which fluorosilicic acid is the most common. Fluoride helps to protect our teeth by a variety of ways such as altering the structure of developing enamel and encouraging remineralisation ensuring that the enamel crystals are…

were first noticed in the early 1900’s by Dr. MacKay. He concluded that the high levels of fluoride in the towns water supply were preventing tooth decay. These findings were corroborated further when Dr. H. Trendley Dean conducted fluoride research that showed tooth decay was less prevalent in communities who had naturally fluorinated water. From this study, it was found that a range of .7 to 1.2 ppm of fluoride levels in drinking water could safely treat tooth decay. Water fluoridation is a…

For someone that works in the dental field, fluoride is a topic discussed daily. You will hear things from fluoride being the best thing for your teeth all the way down to fluoride being a toxic poison. While the topic can be debated to death, I personally think the use of fluoride is a major asset in the war on caries. There are many ways we can use this nature-made substance to improve our oral health, but the specific type we will be discussing is water fluoridation. Before we get into the…

fluoridation is. This is best defined as the process of adding fluoride to the water supply so the level reaches approximately 0.7 ppm, or 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter of water. The water is fluoridated when the public water system is adjusted to a level that helps to prevent tooth decay and other dental problems. About 95% of fluoride is added to public…

Overall the experiment provided significant data, despite problems with reagent contamination. Iron (III)-thiocyanate complexes in equilibrium, meaning that external and internal forces on the equilibrium can shift toward the reactants or the complex. External forces are changes to the chemical or physical environment that effect the equilibrium. Internal forces are changes to the bonds or chemical nature of the complex itself. These effects are used to study the optimal chromogenic reagent,…

America’s dental cavity rate is higher than countries who do not fluoridate their water. Fluoride has been called the greatest public health achievement of the 20th century, but still there is no proven effect to the American people's teeth. So, why than is 66.3% of the U.S. population receiving fluoridated water and why are taxpayers paying millions of dollars to put a harmful chemicals into their water? Fluoride is a drug and harmful chemical that the people of the U.S. deserve to choose…
