What is FLUORIDE & how is it’s functions beneficial?!
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral which assists in preventing cavities.
〰️
It works by strengthening the outer layer of the tooth (enamel).
This makes the tooth surface more resilient to decay causing acids! 💪🏽🦷🪥
Studies show that fluoride in community water systems prevents at least 25 percent of tooth decay in children and adults, even with widespread public access to fluoride from other sources such as fluoride toothpaste.
Dental Tip of the day: Ensure you are brushing twice daily using a fluoridated toothpaste!
