Fluoride added to a compatible dentifrice base at a level of 1000 ppm has been clinically proven to reduce the incidence of dental caries by about 25% on average, even in areas where the water supply is fluoridated (8). Elevation to 1500 ppm increases the protection. Sources of fluoride approved for use in dentifrices are sodium fluoride [7681-49-4] (0.22%), sodium monofluorophosphate (0.76%), and stannous fluoride [7783-47-3] (0.41%). The Food and Drug Administration regulates fluoridated dentifrices as drugs and has established parameters for safe and effective products (9).
