Fluoride

preventive measures such as: avoiding gum disease and cavities, early detection of disease, etc. Several steps one can take to maintain good oral health include: visiting the dentist regularly, brushing and flossing, and eating a well- balanced diet. Fluoride treatments, mouthwashes, and sealants are some extra preventive measures. The most important factor in managing good oral hygiene is brushing and flossing daily. One should brush twice a day for at least two minutes each time. Plaque forms…

In a world where access and portability are the number one requirement for most resources or novelties, it would seem a debate has risen in the wake of progress. Bottled water or tap water, and which is better for the world. Hands down, bottled water is the clear choice here, it is healthy, portable, exportable, and most importantly accessible to everyone. Around the world tap water is sparsely available to the people who need it.“783 million people do not have access to clean water and almost 2…

Dentistry is ever-changing, ever-advancing. Current dentistry practices halting and possibly reversing dental caries during its early stages of lesion development, rather than aggressively removing the early signs of dental caries by utilization of the drill. As progressive research educates dental professionals about different methods to interrupt demineralization of tooth structure, they are able to implement the use of certain dental products to restore and save natural teeth. MI Paste is a…

“drinkable”, well no, it isn't it so happens that it has 80 “regulated” contaminants and more unregulated toxins. Then, there's the fact that most water that we drink has arsenic, fluoride, chlorine these are toxins that are unhealthy. Now what may each of them mean well, arsenic is a toxin that causes cancer, fluoride is a pollutant a by-product of copper, iron and aluminum manufacturing, chlorine is a toxin that causes serious cell damage once in the body system. Secondly, for bottled water,…

Acid Rain is best described as any form of precipitation with high levels of nitric and sulfuric acid. Acid rain or acid deposition is the result of burning of fossil fuels. About two-thirds of SO2 and one-fourth of NOx are released into the air; it comes from electric power generators. These chemicals react would react with water, oxygen, and other substances to form delicate solution of sulfuric and nitric acid to form acidic pollutants. The source of sulphur dioxide comes from volcanoes,…

Water, the most essential nutrient for life. Without it the most basic lifeforms couldn’t exist, much less humans. For citizens of Fountain Colorado it’s imperative that we begin to find solutions for the tragedy that has plagued this region of Colorado. There isn’t a definitive reason for the water crisis that has recently struck Fountain Colorado, but there’s plenty of finger pointing from all parties involved such as health departments, local military, utility companies and even city…

Saliva contains many cario-protective components that help defend teeth against erosion including calcium and phosphate, fluoride, buffers and anti-microbial agents. It therefore neutralizes acids, dilutes sugars in food as well as assists in repairing losses to teeth surfaces through remineralization. Unfortunately, this ‘normal’ remineralization process is very slow. Thus…

covalent bonding are essential in the formation of many materials in our world today. Take hydrogen fluoride for example. It has polar covalent bonding and it is used in many processes such as the creation of drugs, in a solution for killing vegetation, as well as preservation of food in refrigeration. All these processes are vital in our everyday lives and cannot be done without the bonding of hydrogen fluoride to help with the process (CDC). I partly disagree with Zachary Steier’s answer for…

Captivity 2). Fluoride is apart of a captive giraffe’s diet, and when it is ingested by a young giraffe, it causes more harm than good. Too much fluoride in a captivate young giraffe’s diet can cause enamel to decay as well as problems in the bone, urine and blood. If fluoride is ingested during the entire period of tooth development than enamel hypoplasia will affect all of the teeth in the mouth. Fluoride toxicosis can also occur, and it can be fatal to the giraffes. If fluoride is used in an…
