Most persons in industrial countries in addition to persons in some developing countries are suffering from dental caries (tooth decay) which is an infectious, multifactorial disease. Management of dental caries was shifted from ?drill and fill? to ?prevent and immune? after development of idea about the caries process. Many procedures and materials have been used for the preventive phase of dental caries. One of these materials was using the properties of fluoride with its anti-cariogenic properties. The incidence of dental caries (tooth decay) is reduced by using fluoride which slows, delays or arrests the progression of existingdental caries .This review article focused on different mechanism of action, types of topical applications and side effect of overdose use of fluoride compounds.
