Sodium fluoride

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,…

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…

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…

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,…

This paper explores multiple published articles that have reported results from research conducted case studies displaying the relationship between fluoride and oral health when discussing the fluoride concentration within a public water system. These articles, however, are quite similar in their findings, yet differ in the location the study was conducted in and age groups that were focused on. This paper examines Banóczy (2013), Peterson (2015), as well as O’Sullivan & O’Connell’s (2015)…

children and prevention is vital to their development. Fluoride varnish is a topical 5% sodium fluoride concentration applied to the surface of teeth twice a year in hopes to prevent these cavities. (Moyer, 2014) The purpose of this paper was to determine if fluoride varnish treatments are successful in the prevention of dental caries in children. Pediatric Population Affected The population at risk for developing caries due to lack of fluoride in the combined articles range from the first…

Water fluoridation is a process of adding fluoride to public water until a desired level of fluoride in the water is reached. It has been used as a public health measure to reduce tooth decay and it is important for oral health especially the teeth. Natural water contains a small amount of fluoride but it is limited and insufficient to provide a significant change in the improvement of oral health. Water fluoridation adds fluoride to public water and it is adjusted to between 0.7 - 1.0 parts per…

addition of fluoride to the water system is an effort to combat the problem of dental caries in the general population. This has been shown by numerous studies to have a great effect on reducing the number…

Health at the Center for Dieses Control and Prevention (Molony). Water fluoridation is defined as; “to add fluoride to drinking water to reduce tooth decay” (Fallon). Most communities have fluoridated drinking water. Almost all water contains some naturally occurring fluoride, but at levels that are too low to prevent tooth decay (Center for Disease Control). Many communities adjust the fluoride concentration in their water supply to a safe recommended level to reduce tooth decay and promote…

will be provided. The enamel caries which are classified as radiographic C1 and C2 and the incipient enamel lesions located on the labial surfaces of 11, 21, 13 and 23 will be treated conservatively with the application of high fluoride varnish (Duraphat 22600 ppm fluoride) to reduce sensitivity as it has been shown to remineralise teeth even in the presence of plaque (Hellwig, Klimek, Schmidt, & Egerer, 1985). These areas will be monitored regularly with radiographs every 6 months as Ben is a…
