FLUORIDE AND YOUR CHILDREN’S TEETH

One of the most important findings of dental research in the past half century has been a better understanding of the relationship between tooth fluoride content and dental decay. Fluoride is a mineral which is essential to tooth enamel and bone. Numerous recent studies have substantiated the effectiveness of fluoride in the maintenance of tooth enamel and help in protecting children’s teeth against cavity formation (dental caries). While there is no genera! consensus among experts as to the exact physiological manner in which fluoride reduces tooth decay, fluoride is known io strengthen the enamel coating of the tooth and increase resistance to decay. Tooth enamel absorbs the fluoride and hardons the tooth's outer iJie’l. This crystalline surface is Jc'S soluble and more resistant to acids in the mouth. Fluoride is a natural element present in all the foods we eat. The trace amounts of fluoride in most foods, however, are not sufficient to be effective in prevention of tooth decay. The average dietary intake from food is less than 0.5 milligrams (0.0000175 ounce). A report issued by the Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics indicates fluoride .to be effective and safe only when taken in certain daily amounts. Today there are several Supplemental sources of fluoride available. One source is fluoridation. This is the addition of fluoride to drinking water. When available, fluoridated drinking water, in addition to fluoride found naturally in foods, is an effective way of providing an adequate and beneficial in.take of fluoride. Unfortunately more than 50% of Americans do not have access to fluoridated central water supplies or natural water supplies that con--ku an adequate umounl of

fluoride. Fluoridated drinking water provides a steady and continuous intake of fluoride daily which is vital to dental protection and preservation - fluoride is not stored in sufficient quantities to offer a protective benefit over a period of time. ' j I , z.s, "Cl Several proposals to provide adequate fluoride when not available in drinking water have been suggested and tried. Some fluoridation units have been devised which inject fluoride solution into home water systems. However these units require continual adjustment and periodic testing of water fluoride content to avoid excessive fluoride intake. Sodium fluoride tablets were distributed in rural areas of Germany and found to be effective in dental decay reduction. Effective use of such pills requires organized distribution as through school programs. Ano*her possibility is topical application of stannous fluoride by the patient's dentist. Effectiveness requires periodic application of the fluoride solution. A convenient form of fluoride supplementation is available as infant vitamin drops and children’s chewable vitamin* with added

fluoride. When prescribed by the family dentist or physician, today’s parent can purchase a special fluorideadded form of their children’s regular vitamin supplement, tablet or drops, which will assure an adequate daily ingestion of fluoride so necessary for healthy teeih. Fluoride with vitamins offers the effectiveness that sodium fluoride’tablets have shown, plus the convenience of the vitamin-fluoride combination. Taking daily vitamins is already an established habit in many homes. To be effective in preventing tooth decay, fluoride must be taken on a continuous daily basis, preferably throughout the period of tooth calcification. ( One recent three-year clinical report published in the Journal of Dentistry forChildren indicated favorable patient response to use of a' fluoride-vitamin supplement containing sodium fluoride. Results of this study showed that, compared to a control group, an experimental group of children taking the fluoride - vitamin supplement achieved a 60% reduction in dental caries in primary teeth, (baby teeth) and over 40 o reduction of caries in permanent teeth. Tooth calcification in the infant starts prior to birth for primary teeth and continues to about three years of age. With permanent teeth calcification starts at birth and may continue through the 25th year of life. Fluoride taken internally—as in a vitamin and fluoride drops supplement or in fluoridated water -acts on the developing teeth before they appear in the mouth, and may continue to act throughout the calcification process. It is therefore important that parents consult their dentist or physician for guidance in providing children essential fluoride to effectively reduce the incidence of caries in both primary and permanent let th, x
