The (SDWA) did set a primary standards (enforceable limits) for the fluoride concentration in the drinking water that is 4.0 (mg/L) or 4.0 ppm as a (MCLG & MCL) respectively. At this level of protection which is based on the best available science research that will prevent potential health problems. In addition, (SDWA) did set a secondary standard (non-enforceable limits) for the fluoride concentration in the drinking water that is 2.0 (mg/L) or 2.0 ppm as a (MCL). At this level which undergo as
diamine fluoride after it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration. It was with the help of Dr. Peter Milgrom, DDS., a professor at the University of Washington, who pushed through and got this fluoride approved. It was cleared as a cavity varnish for patients with hypersensitivity. It became available to dentists in 2015 and the CDT code of D1354 was created in January of 2016. Prior to this, the dentistry did not have a code to monitor this. Price per bottle of silver diamine fluoride is $129
implementation of artificially introducing fluoride into water, a great amount of resistance has taken place. Many people claim that fluoridating community water sources can cause not only dental fluorosis, but a multitude of adverse systemic conditions. This perception has led to many political battles on the subject. The problems associated with fluoride ingestion tend to present when concentrations are higher that generally accepted. In communities with natural high fluoride concentrations, adverse effects
water fluoridation is "the controlled addition of fluoride compound to a public water supply to achieve a concentration optimal for dental caries prevention" (Rockville,2000, cited in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015, p.1). Notwithstanding the general perception of community water fluoridation worldwide, which recognizes it as an opportunity, some opponents see it as a hazard. In other word Adding or adjusting the level of fluoride in the public water supply, knowing that everyone

Introduction Fluoride is the ionic form of the element fluorine and is the 13th most abundant element in the earth's crust. Chemically, fluoride is negatively charged and combines with positive ions to form stable compounds such as calcium fluoride or sodium fluoride. Such fluorides are released into the environment naturally in the form of both water and air. Generally, when the term fluoride is mentioned, thoughts associated with calcified tissues (i.e., bones and teeth) are provoked. This is
The ingestion of fluoride has been associated to benefits for the teeth. According to some observers in the past, fluoride strengthens the enamel of the teeth making it not so susceptible to cavities. From this hypothesis the fluoridation of water had its start and until today it is believed to be one of the most responsible sources for reducing cavities in the population (Graham & Morin, 1999). In some author’s view the fluoridation of the water implies a significant change and the positive effects
Focus on Fluorides: Update on the use of Fluoride for the Prevention of Dental Caries This article is based on the negative and positive impacts of fluoride uses. Topics discussed include: updates on community water fluoridation, fluoride available in dentifrices, and fluoride varnish, use and recommendations. Fluoride is the first line of defense, along with education, for preventing caries. Fluoride is the only compound recognized by the FDA for the prevention of dental caries (Carey, 2014). Fluoride
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
