The mere presence of fluoride in a dentifrice (paste or powder) does not necessarily give it therapeutic qualities. Fluoride alone is no guarantee of effectiveness. What is important is that the dentifrice contain fluoride in a n effective combination with other ingredients. There are a number of these on the market. They definitely posses therapeutic value and have accordingly been recommended by the Council of Dental Therapeutics of the American Dental Association in those now familiar words, "...has been shown to be an effective decay-preventive dentifrice that can be of significant value when used in a conscientiously applied program of oral hygiene and regular professional care." This endorsement has real meaning. Scientific test studies have proven beyond doubt the effectiveness of the recommended toothpaste in reducing the incidence of tooth decay. |
