MVC™ – Fluoride
Children and adults may benefit from proper nutrition. In fact, thousands of scientific articles show a direct correlation between a proper diet and health. Sometimes the food we eat simply doesn’t provide enough of what our bodies need. While vitamins and fluoride are common components in our food and water, science has shown that supplemental quantities of these may create barriers to some common health issues. Dental Caries (Cavities) have been clinically shown to be reduced in children who have consistently taken fluoride.
MVC – Fluoride does not contain any artificial dyes, flavors or sugars. It is formulated to chew easily, taste like a “fruit tart”, and provide at least the labeled amount of nutrients. Additionally, the patented formula includes Xylitol, a natural substance, which has been shown to provide additional protection for teeth.
Our MVC – Fluoride is available nationwide. If your pharmacist or doctor would like more information please contact us at 561-847-2302.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
It is well established that fluoridation of the water supply (1 ppm fluoride) during the period of tooth development leads to a significant decrease in the incidence of dental caries.
Multivitamin with Fluoride Chewable Tablets provide sodium fluoride and ten essential vitamins in a chewable tablet. Because tablets are chewable, they provide a topical as well as systemic source of fluoride.
Hydroxyapatite is the principal crystal of all calcified tissue in the human body. The fluoride ion reacts with the hydroxyapatite in the tooth as it is formed to produce the more caries-resistant crystal fluorapatite. The reaction may be expressed by the equation:
Ca10 (PO4)6 (OH)2 + 2F-→ Ca10 (PO4)F2 + 2OH-
(Hydroxyapatite) (Fluorapatite)
Three stages of fluoride deposition in tooth enamel can be distinguished:
1. Small amounts (reflecting the low levels of fluoride in tissue fluids) are incorporated into the enamel crystals while they are being formed.
2. After enamel has been laid down, fluoride deposition continues in the surface enamel. Diffusion of fluoride from the surface inwards is apparently restricted.
3. After eruption, the surface enamel acquires fluoride from the water, food, supplementary fluoride and smaller amounts of saliva.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Chewable Multi-Vitamin with Fluoride is a prescription medical food product for the clinical dietary management of the metabolic processes of caries prophylaxis, and provides supplementation of the diet with ten essential vitamins.
Multivitamin with 1.0 mg Fluoride Chewable Tablets provide 1.0 mg of fluoride in tablet form for children 6-16 years of age in areas where the water fluoride is less than 0.3 ppm.
Multivitamin with 0.5mg Fluoride Chewable Tablets provide 0.5 mg of fluoride in tablet form for children 4-6 years of age where the water fluoride level is less than 0.3
2
ppm, and for children 6 years of age and above where the drinking water contains 0.3 through 0.6 ppm of fluoride.
Multivitamin with 0.25 mg Fluoride Chewable Tablets provide 0.25 mg of fluoride in tablet form for children 4-6 years of age where the drinking water contains 0.3 through 0.6 ppm of fluoride.
Multivitamin with Fluoride Chewable Tablets supply significant amounts of Vitamins A,C,D,E, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and folate to supplement the diet, and to help assure that nutritional deficiencies of these vitamins will not develop. Thus, in a single easy-to-use preparation, children obtain ten essential vitamins and the important mineral, fluoride.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children up to the age of 16, in areas where drinking water contains less than optimal levels of fluoride, receive daily fluoride supplementation.
Children using Multivitamin with Fluoride Chewable Tablets regularly should receive semiannual dental examinations. The regular brushing of teeth and attention to good oral hygiene practices are also essential.
WARNING
As in the case of all medications, keep out of the reach of children.
Should be chewed. This product, as all chewable tablets, is not recommended for children under age 4 due to risk of choking.
PRECAUTIONS
The suggested dose of Multivitamin with Fluoride Chewable Tablets should not be exceeded, since dental fluorosis may result from continued ingestion of large amount of fluoride.
Before prescribing Multivitamin with Fluoride Chewable Tablets:
1. Determine the fluoride content of the drinking water from all major sources.
2. Make sure the child is not receiving significant amounts of fluoride from other sources such as medications and swallowed toothpaste.
3. Periodically check to make sure that the child does not develop significant dental fluorosis.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Allergic rash and other idiosyncrasies have been rarely reported.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
One tablet daily or as prescribed.
