A dental fluoride foam composition comprising an aqueous solution of a watersoluble fluoride ion releasable salt;a surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants,zwitterionic surfactants, betaine surfactants and mixturesthereof; and an orally compatible acidifying agent in an amount sufficient toadjust the pH of the composition to about 3 to about5. The composition is stable at low temperatures and is a clear solutionsubstantially free of precipitates when held at 4.4°C for 12hours. When dispensed from a container into the trough of a dental tray, thecomposition forms a low density, rapidly collapsiblefoam which substantially liquefies in about 1 minute after being dispensedfrom the foam generating container and placed in contactwith a patient's teeth.
