Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen enamel and maintain a healthy oral environment. It does this by neutralizing the acidity of many cavity causing foods/drinks and bonds to the tooth structure for a more robust, protective coating on the tooth. Many dental products include fluoride as a result of its beneficial qualities and its ability to help slow the rate of cavities. A few sources of fluoride in your daily life include toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, and more than likely even your drinking water! Fluoride is an amazing tool we use to fight cavities, and should be used daily to maintain a healthy oral environment.
