PRIMARY PREVENTIVE SERVICES BY THE COMMUNITYWater fluoridation:
Fluoridation is the upward adjustment of the fluoride ions content of thecommunity water supply to an optimal level, physiologically acceptable, for the
prevention of dental carries
Community water fluoridation.The optimum level of fluoride in the water is 0.7-1.2 p.p.m adapted in
accordance with the amount of water consumed related with warmer and
cold climates.
School water fluoridation.The school water fluoridation is strongly recommended in that area of
population where the community water fluoridation is not available
Optimum level of fluoride is 4-5 p.p.m as this upward adjustment is to
compensate for the reduced water intake' since the school day and year is
shorter, hence the time spent at school

Systemic effect of water fluoridationSystemic effect of water fluoridation
During the development of the tooth theingested fluoride is incorporated in the
structure of the tooth The Hydroxy-apatite crystals is replaced by Hydroxy-fluoro-apatite
crystals which are more resistance to carries attack.

Fluoride supplements programmes.(Tablets, Losenges, Oral drink, Drops, Salts etc).
Using the swish and swallow technique, the dailyrecommended dose of fluoride is as follows:
i. Dose for child below 2years is 0.5 mgii. Dose for child b/w 2-3 years is 0.5-0.7 mg
iii. Dose or child above 3 years is 1.0-1.5 mg
Fluoride tablets are commercially available as NaF tablets of 2.2mg, 1.1mg, and
0.5mg fluoride respectively.
