Comparison of Studies: Effects of Fluoride concentration in Drinking Water

Fluoride plays an important role in improving overall health amongst the population by reducing the occurrence of dental caries. Dental caries has been shown to have a negative impact on the quality of life, psychological and social aspects of children’s lives. Fluoride is naturally present to some extent in all foods and water. • Water fluoridation Is the adjustment of the natural concentration of fluoride in drinking water to the optimal recommended level for the prevention of dental caries.

Fluoride Fluoride happens to be one of the most abundant elements on the earth’s crust, the 13th most abundant in fact. It’s a chemical ion of the fluoride element and has a single extra electron, giving it a negative charge. It’s found naturally in the soil, in our water, our food as well as several other minerals including fluorite. The concentration of fluoride within our seawater would appear to average at around 1.3 parts per million or ppm. In fresh water however it naturally ranges anywhere

Introduction Fluoride is one of the important heavy metal present in water and waste water. Fluoride ions in water exhibits unique properties, as itsoptimum dosein drinking water is advantageous to health and excess concentration beyond the prescribed limits affects health(5). Also Fluoride ions are extremely toxic to human body. A fluoride ion is attracted by positively charged calcium in Teeth and Bones, due to its strong electronegativity. Major health problems caused by fluoride are dental fluorosis

Water holds significant value as it is heavily incorporated in religious practices, culture, and human survival; thus, certain populations become angered by the addition of impurities into water, impurities such as fluoride. The fluoride ion is a natural mineral stemming from soil, air, plants, animals and water supplies; therefore, people are exposed to small amounts of fluoride by breathing air, drinking water, and eating food. Additionally, fluoride is beneficial to human health as it strengthens

For approximately 60 years water fluoridation has been a controversial public health intervention to control dental caries. With regards to the mass amounts of research put in over the six decades, one might think that researches have concluded a clear answer to the question, do the benefits out weight the possible consequences? Scholarly sources suggest that fluoridation of public water does, in fact, significantly lower dental caries in both adolescents and adults, but also suggest this is not

sodium fluoride varnish (22,600ppm) application biannual and use of high concentration fluoride toothpaste (2800ppm) together in high caries risk children wearing orthodontic braces against development of white surface lesions (WSL) between 12- 16 years of age. 2. Objectives: To detect and classify progress of caries using ICDAS system in high caries risk children wearing orthodontic braces with combined use of fluoride varnish applications biannually and use of high concentration fluoride toothpaste

themselves in amusement parks and water parks, when people get thirsty they tend to grab the easiest thing at their disposal- bottled water, and many different brands to choose from. Likewise, during the night when people don’t want to make the full trek into the kitchen to grab some water, they just head to the sink and cup their hands to drink the tap water. It’s an easy decision at that moment, people just know that they’re thirsty and that they want the nearest source of water. Are these people really

Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids and gases from contaminated water. The goal is to produce water fit for a specific purpose. Most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water), but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes, including meeting the requirements of medical, pharmacological, chemical and industrial applications. In general the methods used include physical processes such
