Fluoride as a necessary topic for the training of professionals and schooled adolescents in Santo Domingo.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to systematize a group of knowledge about the benefits that fluoride has for our oral health with the aim of getting young people to make good use of these characteristics. In the study it was found that most people are unaware of the benefits of fluoride for the prevention of oral caries, since it is currently accepted that topical F in small amounts throughout life is the easiest way to prevent it; however, this ingredient in recommended amounts can cause mouth infections. and after that, it can harm our oral health, so concerns about its use were also revealed.
