What Does APF Stand For?
APF stands for Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride
APF, or Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride, is a topical fluoride treatment commonly used in dentistry to help prevent dental caries. It contains a combination of fluoride and phosphoric acid that enhances fluoride's ability to be absorbed by dental enamel. APF is typically applied in gel or foam form during professional dental cleanings, offering a highly effective method for strengthening teeth and promoting oral health, especially in patients at higher risk for cavities.
