indicated for the systemic prophylaxis of dental caries. If the preventive method is implemented early, Fluoride acts on teeth in formation, depositing itself in the deepest layers of the enamel in the form of fluorapatite crystals and making its structure more resistant to acids. In fact, the carious lesion consists of a destruction of the hard dental tissues resulting from a demineralization process promoted by the acids produced by some microorganisms in plaque. Fluoride also has a direct action on plaque bacteria. This action leads not only to a reduction in plaque accumulation by reducing the production of polysaccharides necessary for bacterial growth, but also to an inhibitory action on the production of acids responsible for demineralization processes.

Dosage and Directions for Use:
if the water used contains less than 0.3 mg/litre of fluoride (the most common mineral waters), the recommended intake is:
from 2 weeks to 2 years: 8 drops (0.25 mg of F- ions) per day;
2 to 4 years: 16 drops (0.50 mg of F- ions) per day.

Characteristics:
It tastes good thanks to the sweetening with xylitol, a non-cariogenic sugar and is perfectly miscible in water, milk or other foods or liquids. However, for a better absorption of Fluoride, it is preferable not to dissolve the drops of NAF in milk.

Warnings:
If supplemental fluoride intake is considered, the amounts of fluoride ingested through other sources should be taken into account and overdose should be avoided. The main manifestation of chronic ingestion of excessive amounts of fluoride is the formation of spots on the tooth enamel. Symptoms of acute overdose (abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea) occur following the ingestion of more than 100 mg of fluoride ions. This corresponds approximately to more than 10 vials of NAF drops.

Components:
fluoride; xylytol.

Format: 15 ml.
