Disease/Condition Glossary

Dental cavities: A dental cavity or caries is a permanently damaged tooth area that develops into tiny holes. Cavities are caused by various factors, such as bacteria in the mouth, sugary drinks, frequent snacking, and not cleaning the teeth well. Untreated cavities can cause infection, toothache, and tooth loss. Plaque starts forming after eating/drinking anything sugary. The bacteria in the mouth turn the sugar into acid. The acid in plaque erodes the tooth enamel leading to tooth decay. Symptoms of tooth cavities include tooth pain, tooth sensitivity, black/white staining on the teeth, and a visible hole in the tooth.

Consult Doctor

FAQs

FLODIUM TABLET contains Sodium fluoride that strengthens the tooth enamel. It prevents cavity formation by making the enamel resistant to the decay caused by acids and bacteria.

Bacteria, food, acid, and saliva combine in the mouth to form a sticky substance named plaque. The acid in plaque causes damage to the teeth' enamel leading to cavities. Cavities are caused by various factors, such as bacteria in the mouth, sugary drinks, frequent snacking, and not cleaning the teeth well.

You are recommended to let your doctor know if you are suffering from kidney problems, joint pains, stomach ulcers, and mouth problems, such as discolouration of the teeth, mouth sores and mucositis, before using FLODIUM TABLET.

The absorption of sodium fluoride may be get interfered by calcium, magnesium, and aluminium. Hence it is better to maintain an hour gap between sodium fluoride formulations and dairy products (milk, yoghurt), antacids, laxatives, and vitamins/minerals.
