Fluoritab is indicated for the prevention of dental caries (tooth decay) and cavities. It is typically prescribed for children who live in communities where the drinking water has low natural fluoride concentrations, as well as for individuals at high risk of developing tooth decay despite exposure to fluoridated water.
Fluoritab contains fluoride, a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and makes teeth more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars in the mouth. Fluoride promotes remineralization of tooth enamel and inhibits the growth of cavity-causing bacteria, thereby reducing the risk of dental decay.
Fluoritab should be used as directed by a healthcare provider or dentist, as excessive fluoride intake can lead to dental fluorosis (discoloration of teeth) or skeletal fluorosis. The dosage is typically based on the individual's age and the fluoride content of the local water supply. It is important to avoid swallowing toothpaste or other fluoride products while taking this supplement to prevent fluorosis.
