WHY POVIDONE IODINE CONTROLS TOOTH DECAY
Jeremy Horst DDS, PhD: 48 SLIDES August, 2021

HOW TO APPLY POVIDONE IODINE (J.H. Demo Video)

HOME PREVENTION & TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Brush teeth.
2. Dispense 8 drops of 10% povidone-iodine in any bottle cap
3. Saturate end of a Q-Tip swab ( do not re-dip after applying to avoid excess use)
4. Swallow, then dry teeth with facial tissue
5. Roll and push swab releasing more iodine on biting surfaces, especially where they touch each other, also exposed root surfaces
6. Continue across all teeth wiping all surfaces
7. Keep mouth open for 10 seconds
8. Do not rinse, Go to bed
Application Frequency (Prevention): Repeat once every 2 or 3 months
Application Frequency (Treatment) *: Once a week for one month, then every other week.

Myths:
1. Stains teeth. No! However, it can stain cloth.
2. Shellfish allergy = iodine allergy. No! There is no cross-reactivity between them.
3. Bad tasting. No! A little bit of iodine does not taste bad.
