in major proportion based upon the weight of the solid ingredients of the toothpaste, a small percentage of a fluorine-containing compound, and at least 20%, by weight, of the total of the liquid ingredients of said toothpaste, of at least one water-soluble polyoxyalkyleneglycol having an aver...
Community water fluoridation quickly spread, and the results were pretty stunning: from 1966 to 1994, the percentage of 12 year-olds in the United States with decayed, missing (due to cavities) or filled teeth declined 68% [source: CDC]. Cavities have declined in communities both with and wi...
A significant reduction in the percentage of bleeding sites during the six-month study period was found in the AmF/SnF2 group, but not in the control group. The results of the present study suggest that the long-term use of AmF/SnF2 toothpaste in adults may be of benefit to gingival ...

Ingestion of sweet-tasting fluoride supplemented toothpaste has been reported in humans and pets. Sodium fluoride is most toxic and most readily absorbed; calcium and magnesium fluoride are toxic as well, but less potent. Generally doses above 1 mg/kg body weight will cause acute toxicity, with...
at least in the first few hours, into the blood. However, NaF has a higher acute toxicity than MFP and causes stomach irritation in a much higher percentage of patients than does MFP. Moreover, and perhaps most important, is the fact that NaF is incompatible with ionizable calcium compounds...
The averages were 1.9 surfaces treated in the north and the southwest in 1983. Higher infant mortality, lower percentage of people with completed senior secondary education, and more inhabitants per doctor and per dentist in the north indicate a less favorable situation than in the southwest. ...
