The Role of Fluoride in Dental Health
Fluoride is crucial in dental health, as it strengthens the tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. This mineral helps teeth repair in the early stages of decay, even before they become visible. Fluoride can be found in various sources, such as drinking water, toothpaste, and mouth rinses. Its consistent use helps reduce the prevalence of cavities and can even reverse early decay. Also, fluoride helps to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth, further protecting against tooth decay and gum disease. However, using fluoride safely is important, as excessive exposure can cause dental fluorosis, which manifests as discoloration and tooth damage. Consult our dental professionals to maintain a balanced fluoride level for optimal dental health.
