The applications of sodium monofluorophosphate (SMFP) in dentistry usually refers the topical fluoride methord.
Topical fluoride is used to prevent caries by using different methods to make fluoride act directly on or near the surface of the teeth.
The sodium monofluorophosphate is used as topical fluoride coating material, include fluoride toothpaste, fluoride water rinse, fluoride gel, fluoride solution and fluoride coating.
Dental health products containing sodium monofluorophosphate
Fluoride toothpaste
SMFP is used as additive in fluoride toothpaste. At present, It contains 0.7%-0.8% sodium monofluorophosphate in the toothpaste. Brushing twice, each time the dosage of 1 g, can achieve an effective preventive effect. 3~6 years old children under the age of fluoride toothpaste should be used under the supervision and guidance.

Fluoride mouthwash:
It is a kind of mouthwash which is easy to use, easy to grasp, less expensive, practicable and suitable for low fluoride area and fluoride area. Fluoride rinse is generally recommended to use neutral or acidic sodium fluoride formula, 0.2% NaF (900mgF-/kg) solution once a week, 0.05% NaF (230mgF-/kg) solution once a day. Child in 5-6 years old each time to use 5 ml, 6 years old and above each time to use 10 ml. gargle for 1 minute and then spit out, do not eat or gargle within half an hour.
Fluoride coatings：
The clinical efficacy of fluoride coatings is very similar to that of fluoride water rinses, and their relative cost is high. SMFP is dissolved into an organic solution and coated on the surface of the teeth to harden within a few minutes to prevent caries. 2-4 hours without eating, no brushing that night, the coating is generally maintained for 24-48 hours, once every 4 months.
Fluoride gel:
Professionals with APF gel specific method of operation is to clean the surface of the teeth, wet insulation, blow-drying, with trays filled with fluoride gel which containing the SMFP into the upper and lower teeth, will be asked to gently bite, so that the gel covered the surface of the teeth and the gap between the teeth, retained in the mouth for 4 minutes after removing the residual gel, swabbing residual gel, no rinsing and no food in half an hour, used twice a year.
