DETERMINATION OF FLOURIDE CONTENT IN SOME SELECTED TOOTHPASTE AROUND BAUCHI METROPOLIS
Abstract
ABSTRACT
The objectives of this research investigation was to determine the content of fluoride in toothpastes using back titration. Four sample were taken for analysis. In the study, toothpaste fluoride content in toothpaste sample were found to fall in the range of 0.04ppm in accord in accordance to American Dental Association. Consequently, swallowing of excess amount of fluoride can cause adverse health effects to humans. Fluoride has shown effectiveness in the prevention of caries and giving maximum protection against dental caries while reducing the likelihood of enamel fluorosis.
