   Fluoride therapy typically uses the sodium fluoride form, though stannous fluoride may also be used. [4] [5] Fluoride decreases breakdown of teeth by acids, promotes remineralisation, and decreases the activity of bacteria. [5] Fluoride works primarily through direct contact with teeth. [3] [5] Fluoride came into use to prevent tooth decay in ...

   [53] [54] [55] A case of a fatal poisoning of an adult with 4 grams of sodium fluoride is documented, [56] and a dose of 120 g sodium fluoride has been survived. [57] For sodium fluorosilicate (Na 2 SiF 6), the median lethal dose (LD 50) orally in rats is 125 mg/kg, corresponding to 12.5 g for a 100 kg adult. [58]
