Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Dental Research
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Community water fluoridation is a globally accepted public health measure for preventing dental caries.
  • Fluoride's increasing use in dental products raises concerns about safe exposure levels, especially for individuals with altered fluoride metabolism.
  • The margin of safety between therapeutic and toxic fluoride exposure requires ongoing evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the pharmacological effects of fluoride in human and animal populations.
  • To assess the safety margin of increased fluoride exposure from various sources.
  • To contribute to a comprehensive understanding of fluoride's impact on health.

Main Methods:

  • A series of studies are being conducted as part of a five-year NIDR-funded Program Project.
