Fluoride and its benefits

• Fluoride is a natural mineral present in our environment.
• To keep teeth healthy, it is important to include fluoride in our oral hygiene routine.
• It can be administered at your dental office.

BENEFITS

• Fluoride protects our tooth enamel and makes it resistant to damage caused by acidic food and drinks.
• It can put back lost minerals like calcium and phosphorous back to teeth known as remineralization. Hence it rebuilds damaged teeth.
• It prevents tooth decay. According to Eida et al 2015 ‘The best way to prevent cavities is the use of fluoride from multiple sources.’ It can even stop already started decay from progressing further.
