Abstract:
An analysis of the literature evaluated the caries-protective effects of various methods of fluoridation. Salt fluoridation (250 or 350 mg F/kg) can be considered as equivalent to fluoridation of drinking water. Existing evidence suggests that milk fluoridation cannot be considered equivalent to fluoridation of either drinking water or salt because of problems of consistent delivery. Sugar, beverages (including tea), as well as fluoride-rich mineral waters are likely to be of only limited importance for caries prevention, but may be effective on an individual basis.
