FLODIUM TABLET

FLODIUM TABLET is primarily used to prevent dental cavities. A dental cavity or caries is a permanently damaged area in the tooth which develops into tiny holes. Cavities are caused by various factors, such as bacteria in the mouth, sugary drinks, frequent snacking, and not cleaning the teeth well.

FLODIUM TABLET contains Sodium fluoride, a mineral. It prevents cavities/decay by making the enamel resistant to the decay caused by acids and bacteria. It further strengthens the tooth enamel by mineralization. 

Use FLODIUM TABLET as advised by the doctor. Common side effects of FLODIUM TABLET include nausea, vomiting, stomach upset and gum irritation. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and may vary individually. Most of the side effects do not require medical attention and resolve over time. If you notice any unmanageable side effects, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you use other dental products before starting FLODIUM TABLET. Please tell your doctor if you are known to be allergic to FLODIUM TABLET or other medicines. Inform your doctor if you have severe kidney problems, joint pains, stomach ulcers, and mouth problems, such as discolouration of the teeth, mouth sores and mucositis (the inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes lining the digestive tract) before using FLODIUM TABLET. Please let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using FLODIUM TABLET. This medicine should be used in children only with the doctor's advice.

Dental cavities: A dental cavity or caries is a permanently damaged tooth area that develops into tiny holes. Cavities are caused by various factors, such as bacteria in the mouth, sugary drinks, frequent snacking, and not cleaning the teeth well. Untreated cavities can cause infection, toothache, and tooth loss. Plaque starts forming after eating/drinking anything sugary. The bacteria in the mouth turn the sugar into acid. The acid in plaque erodes the tooth enamel, leading to tooth decay. Symptoms of tooth cavities include tooth pain, tooth sensitivity, black/white staining on the teeth, and a visible hole in the tooth.
