EFFECT OF DIETARY FLUORINE IN DELAYING DENTAL CARIES

J. F. MCCLENDON 1 and W. C. FOSTER 1

1 Research Laboratory of Physiology, Hahnemann Medical College, Philadelphia, Pa.

Evidence collected for 20 years points to fluorine as essential to the teeth although the public interest was centered on dental fluorosis. Up to 10 ppm. fluorine in driving water delayed dental caries produced by a cracked cereal diet containing 0.3 ppm. fluorine. Small dietary additions designed to improve the calcium phosphate metabolism slightly delayed dental caries. These additions were not all fluorine-free but did not add more than 0.03 ppm. of fluorine to the diet.
