sodium fluoride
Cavity prevention compound
Sodium fluoride is a chemical compound of sodium and fluorine, used primarily to prevent tooth decay.
It appears in toothpastes, mouth rinses, and municipal water supplies as a cavity-fighting additive.
In higher concentrations, it serves as a pesticide and wood preservative.
The compound is toxic if ingested in large amounts.
