The evidence for the use of fluorides and non-fluoride alternatives for caries control

Course Description

The control of dental caries using different types of fluoride products is well established. Recent concerns on the potential of fluoride to cause neurotoxicity have led many dentists and oral care professionals to question the safe use of fluoride products to manage caries in their patients, and to look for alternatives.
