Fluoride Myths and Facts?

 


As you know, fluoride is actually a natural mineral that is found in the earth's crust and it is useful in many ways in nature. Fluoride is vital mineral important in children for strong and healthy teeth before they erupt.

 MECHANISM OF FLUORIDE;

When we eat some food  and drink beverages then debris remains in the mouth, then bacteria in our mouth reacts with the food and produces acid. This breaks down the hard parts of our teeth. Fluoride reacts with hydroxyapatite in the tooth structure and form fluorapatite, It helps in stopping the acid in our mouth from harming our teeth. Thus, Fluoride prevents formation of cavities or caries.

HOW CAN WE GET FLUORIDE IN TREATMENT:

Through fluoride toothpaste.
