Fluoride is a substance that strengthens tooth enamel. This helps to prevent dental cavities.
Fluoride topical is used as a medication to prevent tooth decay in patients that have a low level
of fluoride topical in their drinking water. Fluoride topical is also used to prevent tooth decay in patients
who undergo radiation of the head and/or neck, which may cause dryness of the mouth and an
increased incidence of tooth decay.
Fluoride may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
