Course Description: Fluoride was first introduced into U.S. community water systems in 1945 and has long been celebrated as one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. Its role in preventing tooth decay is well established. In recent years, however, new research has raised questions about potential health risks, sparking one of dentistry’s most talked-about debates. At the same time, alternatives such as nano-hydroxyapatite have emerged—showing promising remineralization potential and generating growing interest among patients seeking “clean” or “natural” care.
As both dental professionals and parents, it’s important to feel confident navigating these conversations—whether you’re answering questions from a concerned mom in your operatory or making product choices for your own family. This course will explore the science, benefits, and risks of both fluoride and nano-hydroxyapatite, equipping you with the knowledge and communication tools to guide balanced, evidence-based decisions that help your patients—and their families—grow healthy smiles.
