The Role of Fluoride in Dental Health

Fluoride is a mineral that helps prevent tooth decay. It strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth. Many dental products, including toothpaste and mouth rinses, contain fluoride.

Fluoride Treatments

Professional fluoride treatments are available at dental offices and can provide additional protection, especially for children and those at higher risk of cavities.
