Abstract

Tooth decay is one of the most common infectious microbiological diseases in the world. Dental cavities are now less common than it was before water fluoridation was put into place. Fluoride toothpastes are of a high calibre and excellent at preventing tooth decay. Fluoride therapy administered by a specialist helps prevent dental caries. Common fluoride agents include sodium fluoride (NaF), sodium monofluorophosphate, stannous fluoride, and silver diamine fluoride. Fluorides are essential in the prevention of dental caries because they are therapeutically used to inactivate early carious lesions. Dental fluorosis brought on by unintentional ingestion has also been connected to early exposure to fluoride toothpaste.
