Public Health: Fluoride Rinse Programs

 

The Complete NaFrinse™ Fluoride Mouthrinse Program

Dental caries (tooth decay) ranks among the most prevalent diseases in our society today. Tooth decay begins in early childhood and can continue throughout adulthood. Few individuals escape the ravages of this disease which is the leading cause of tooth loss before the age of 25. Research has shown that topically applied fluoride (mouthrinsing) makes teeth less susceptible to decay. An accepted method by which tooth decay may be substantially reduced is through the use of the NaFrinse™ Fluoride Program.

The NaFrinse™ Fluoride Mouthrinse Program –
Premixed Unit Dose – Topical Weekly Rinse

Each unit dose consists of a cup which contains either 5mL or 10mL of a PREMIXED flavored or unflavored sodium fluoride solution (10mg or 20mg sodium fluoride respectively) together with a napkin to wipe the mouth and trash bags for disposal. The cups are formed entirely from pharmaceutical grade plastic.

 

This system completely eliminates waste. No unused product has to be discarded.

 

Taste – The fluoride solution in the cups is available in bubble gum, root beer, mint, grape and orange flavors.

 

Advantage of Cups – Cups are commonplace to children. They know how to use cups and avoid accidental spillage.

 

Safety – The unit dose is safe because the school, institution or clinic will be storing a diluted fluoride solution. If accidentally swallowed during the rinsing process, such ingestion is harmless.

 

Shipping – If you desire, we will ship your supplies to each individual location which will eliminate your problem of major distribution.

 

Partial Shipments – If your school or institution cannot accommodate the size of the shipment you are ordering, a partial shipment can be arranged. The cartons are palletized and bound with plastic sheathing to prevent damage in transit.

 

Directions for use:

1.  Each participant receives one cup and one napkin.

2.  Remove the lid from the cup.

3.  Empty the contents of the cup into the mouth and swish thoroughly for one minute.

4.  Slowly spit the solution back into the cup.

5.  Wipe the mouth with the napkin, and then place it in the cup to absorb the excess solution. The used cup and napkin are then discarded into the plastic trash bag.

6 Easy Steps for Fluoride Mouthrinsing

1. Open the fluoride packet and empty the powder into the container.

2. Fill container with potable (tap) water to indicated mark.

3. Pump 10mL of solution into a cup and give the filled cup and napkin to participant.

4. Empty the contents of the cup into mouth and swish for one minute.

5. Slowly expectorate the solution back into the cup.

6. Wipe mouth with napkin, and then place it in the cup to absorb the excess solution. The used cup and napkin are then discarded into the plastic trash bag.

 

Storing the fluoride Solution

In instances where the number of participants is small and not all the fluoride is consumed in one session, the unused portion may be stored away from the reach of children. The solution need not be refrigerated. To store, unscrew the pump and replace it with the child-proof cap accompanying the container. This will provide additional safety when the container is unattended. Discard unused solution after 3 weeks.

 

Statement by the Commissioner of Food and Drugs Regarding
School Based Use of Fluoride Preparations

The preparations and dietary supplements of fluoride are safe and effective in reducing the incidence of dental carries when used in accordance with the accepted methods. It is acceptable for fluoride mouthrinses and dietary supplements of fluoride to be dispensed and used in the schools by school children, if their use is supervised adequately. “It is the opinion of the Dental Drug Products Advisory Committee that appropriate personnel for the supervision of the procedures include dental auxiliaries, nurses, teachers, aids and volunteers if they have been instructed and given in-service training by professional personnel (a dentist, dental hygienist, or physician) in the following procedures: proper and secure storage, correct dosage, distribution methods, and supervision of the preventive treatment procedures.” top
