Stannous flouride is the cavity fighter found in toothpastes and is made from recycled tin.
1 atom of Tin and 2 atoms of Fluorine
It is an Ionic Compound (also referring to an metal forming with multiple ions). The following in "common name" is SnF2= Stannous Flouride and in IUPAC form SnF2= Tin (II) Flouride
It is a compound of tin and fluorine (if it has two parts to its name or ends in -ide, it is not an element).
Fluoride is added to drinking water to prevent tooth decay
Pure NaF (sodium fluoride,not flouride)contains 45.23% fluorine by weight.
Stannous flouride - the cavity fighter found in toothpaste, is made from recycled tin.
Formula: SnF2

Fluoride is added to drinking water to prevent tooth decay
Sodium Fluoride, the active ingredient in most toothpastes, is only approved by the FDA for cavity prevention. Stannous Fluoride (SnF2) is an antibacterial ingredient that kills plaque bacteria. It helps keep plaque from coming back by inhibiting plaque re-growth. SnF2 also protects against painful sensitivity by blocking exposed dentinal tubules, the source of sensitivity.
Stannous = tin(II). Stannic = tin(IV). So stannous acetate is Sn(C2H3O2)2.
SnF2 is stannous- or tin(II) fluoride
Stannous sulphate: SnSO4 Nickel sulphate: NiSO4.6H2O
There are two main chemicals, Abrasives and Flouride. Abrasives help remove plaque from the teeth. Representative abrasives include particles of aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), various calcuim hydrogen phosphates, various silicas and zeolites, and hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH). Flouride in various forms is the most popular active ingredient in toothpaste to prevent cavities. Fluoride has beneficial effects on the formation of dental enamel and bones. Sodium flouride (NaF) is the most common source of fluoride but stannous flouride (SnF2), olaflur (an organic salt of fluoride), and sorium monofluorophosphate (Na2PO3F) are also used.
The chemical formula of stannous dichromate is SnCr2O7.
