Abstract
A bottled fluoridated water based drinking composition for the prevention and control of dental decay includes in a substantially non-fluoride reactive bottle containing therein at least one additional fluoride compound selected from a group consisting essentially sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, magnesium fluoride, calcium fluoride, stannous fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate, potassium monofluorophosphate and hydrogen fluoride and physiologically acceptable salts thereof, an acidifying compound which when dissolved in water will provide a weak acid and a weak base to initiate a buffering action and prevent the fluoride ions from going to completion and other selected formulating agents to provide protection of tooth surfaces from tooth caries disease and eventual tooth loss.
Claims6
A bottled fluoridated carbonated flavored water based drinking composition for the prevention and control of dental decay, comprising:
- in a substantially non fluoride reactive bottle, a continuous phase of water containing therein (a) hydrogen fluoride, (b) at least one fluoride yielding compound selected from a group consisting essentially of sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride and magnesium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate, potassium monofluorophosphate and magnesium monofluorophosphate, stannous fluoride, calcium fluoride, sodium silicofluoride, hydrofluorosilicic acid, magnesium silicifluoride, ammonium silicofluoride wherein there exists a weight ratio of between about fifty percent or less concentration of (a) to (b), and c a polyprotic acid selected from a group consisting of phosphoric (orthophosphoric) acid, citric acid, sulfuric acid, in physiologically acceptable amounts which maintain a pH concentration in the range of between 2.5 and 7.0, (d) a flavoring agent, and (e) a carbonating substance.
