Sodium fluoride is an inorganic compound and source of fluoride ion. It is used primarily as a prophylactic agent against dental caries (tooth decay) and in water fluoridation, oral rinses, and supplements. It is approved and in use for caries prevention.
Pharmacokinetic parameters estimated for healthy adult humans after oral administration; no comprehensive original clinical PK study with full reporting found in literature.
