Abstract

When I was spending my childhood in southern Iran, I encountered people whose teeth were #brownish-yellow with white spots. I always wondered why their teeth are looking ugly. Are they not doing oral #hygiene? But when I got into the dental school, I realized that this was due to excessive fluoride in drinking water Interestingly, the percentage of dental caries in these individuals was much lower than others. From four years ago, following the popularity of #Varnish Fluoride in the international #dental community, the Ministry of Health in Iran has implemented the plan for children's fluoride therapy in primary schools in the country In the past few years, the project has been welcomed by parents and the dental community. Students in #elementary schools were examined every six months by dentists and treated by varnish fluoride for free. Every year based on this project, from the start of the school year, trained health #personnel will be active in the villages and in the cities so that school health educators and oral hygiene practitioners will cover all the elementary schools across the country for varnish fluoride therapy.
