1. FLUORIDES

38. Fluoride Supplementation Schedule Fluoride Content of Water Adapted from American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry Handbook, 1999 -- 0.50 mg/day 1.00 mg/day 6 years – 16 years -- 0.25 mg/day 0.50 mg/day 3 years – 6 years -- -- 0.25 mg/day 6 months – 3 years >0.6 ppm 0.3 – 0.6 ppm <0.3 ppm AGE

49. Guidelines for Calculating the Quantity and Concentration of Fluoride Ion in Fluoride Compounds

52. Important Information Before Any Calculation Example: NaF 23+19 = 42 19/42 = .45 or 45% Atomic Weights: Na = 23 F = 19 Sn = 119 P = 31 O = 16 “ ppm” means parts per million ppm = 10,000 x pph “%” 1 ounce = 28.4 grams 8 ounces = 227.2 grams Percentage “%” in fluid means gram per 100 ml Percentage “%” means parts per hundred (pph)
