Midaflur

Midaflur is a fluoride compound used in the prevention of dental caries or tooth decay. It is a topical fluoride that is applied directly to the teeth to strengthen the enamel and make it more resistant to decay.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

Midaflur works by enhancing the remineralization of tooth enamel that has been demineralized by acid-producing bacteria in the mouth. It also inhibits these bacteria from producing acid, thereby reducing the risk of tooth decay.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Midaflur is used in the prevention of dental caries in both children and adults. It is typically applied as a gel or varnish during a dental visit. It may also be used in combination with other fluoride compounds for added protection.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

While generally safe, some people may experience side effects from midaflur. These can include a burning sensation in the mouth, increased salivation, and changes in taste. In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur.

Precautions[edit | edit source]

Before using midaflur, it is important to inform your dentist of any allergies or medical conditions you may have. It is also important to avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after application to allow the fluoride to fully absorb into the teeth.
