A member asked:
Instead of an aqueous solution of sodium fluoride can a solution of potassium fluoride work as well, assuming the fluoride concentrations are equal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : While Potassium behaves similarly to Sodium because of its position in the periodic table, its compound with Fluorine has not been demonstrated to be an effective mouth rinse. Dr. Davantzis is right.
