Dental caries is considered a significant public health concern, and the most effective prevention method is fluoride. Breast milk and cow’s milk have low fluoride levels, whereas processed chicken, dry infant cereals, and seafood products contain high fluoride levels. Topical fluorides in toothpaste can have a systemic effect, especially in children, if they unintentionally swallow it. Generally, 0.05-0.07 mg/kg /day of fluoride is optimal, while the appropriate amount of toothpaste for children is about the size of a pea. Which of the following retains 99% of the systemic fluoride?
A. Blood plasma B. Kidneys C. Mineralized tissues D. Liver Source : Dear doctor Dentistry and Oral Health
