  2. Fluoride therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride_therapy

    Regular use of a daily (230 ppm) or weekly (900 ppm) fluoride mouth rinse under supervision results into a reduction of tooth decay in children's permanent teeth. [54] After a fluoride mouthrinse treatment, the fluoride in the mouthrinse is retained in the saliva which helps prevent tooth decay. [53]

  3. Remineralisation of teeth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

    The cavity-prevention effect of fluoride is partly due to these surface effects, which occur during and after tooth eruption. [17] Fluoride interferes with the process of tooth decay as fluoride intake during the period of enamel development for up to 7 years of age; the fluoride alters the structure of the developing enamel making it more ...

  4. Topical fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topical_fluoride

    Topical fluorides are fluoride-containing drugs indicated in prevention and treatment of dental caries, particularly in children's primary dentitions. [1] The dental-protecting property of topical fluoride can be attributed to multiple mechanisms of action, including the promotion of remineralization of decalcified enamel, the inhibition of the cariogenic microbial metabolism in dental plaque ...

  5. Fluoride varnish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride_varnish

    Fluoride varnish is widely used in the United Kingdom, following guidelines from multiple sources backing its efficacy. Public Health England, a UK government organisation sponsored by the Department of Health, released guidance in 2014 recommending fluoride varnish application at least twice yearly for children and young adults. [13]

  6. Enamel hypoplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel_hypoplasia

    According to clinical trials, topical fluoride treatment in the form of gel or varnish is effective in preventing tooth decay in children with enamel defects. Treatment with other topical agents, such as calcium phosphate , may also be effective in the remineralization of areas with congenital or carious enamel defects. [19]

  7. Dental fluorosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_fluorosis

    Dental fluorosis is a common [2] disorder, characterized by hypocalcification of tooth enamel caused by ingestion of excessive fluoride during enamel formation. [3] [needs update] It appears as a range of visual changes in enamel [4] causing degrees of intrinsic tooth discoloration, and, in some cases, physical damage to the teeth.

  8. Silver diammine fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_diammine_fluoride

    Silver diammine fluoride (SDF), also known as silver diamine fluoride in most of the dental literature (although this is a chemical misnomer), is a topical medication used to treat and prevent dental caries (tooth decay) and relieve dentinal hypersensitivity. [1]

  9. Fluorine deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine_deficiency

    Fluoride or fluorine deficiency is a disorder which may cause increased dental caries [1] and possibly osteoporosis, [2] [3] due to a lack of fluoride in diet. [4] [5] Common dietary sources of fluoride include tea, grape juice, wine, raisins, some seafood, coffee, and tap water that has been fluoridated. [6]
