Fluoride: Access, emerging educational challenges pose risks to cavity prevention


Over the last 70 years, it has been well documented that access to fluoride for the U.S. population has contributed to dramatic declines in the prevalence and severity of tooth decay.

What to expect inside:

• Adults remain at risk for dental caries

• Focus on xerostomia

• Fluoride and root caries

• Answering questions related to fluoride mouth rinses

• Fluoride: A history of prevention worth repeating
