Dentures are typically stored in a denture cup with water or a denture cleaning solution to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out and losing their shape. Show more…

Teeth enamel is hydroxyapatite $\left[\mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{3} \mathrm{OH}\right]$ When it dissolves in water (a process called demineralization), it dissociates as follows: $$\mathrm{Ca}_{5}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{3} \mathrm{OH} \longrightarrow 5 \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}+3 \mathrm{PO}_{4}^{3-}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}$$ The reverse process, called remineralization, is the body's natural defense against tooth decay. Acids produced from food remove the $\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ ions and thereby weaken the enamel layer. Most toothpastes contain a fluoride compound such as $\mathrm{NaF}$ or $\mathrm{SnF}_{2}$ What is the function of these compounds in preventing tooth decay?
Fluoridation is the process of adding fluorine compounds to drinking water to help fight tooth decay. A concentration of 1 ppm of fluorine is sufficient for the purpose. (1 ppm means one part per million, or $1 \mathrm{~g}$ of fluorine per 1 million g of water.) The compound normally chosen for fluoridation is sodium fluoride, which is also added to some toothpastes. Calculate the quantity of sodium fluoride in kilograms needed per year for a city of 50,000 people if the daily consumption of water per person is 150 gallons. What percent of the sodium fluoride is "wasted" if each person uses only $6.0 \mathrm{~L}$ of water a day for drinking and cooking? (Sodium fluoride is $45.0$ percent fluorine by mass. gallon $=3.79 \mathrm{~L} ; 1$ year $=365$ days; density of water $=1.0 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}$.)
