What is Fluoride?
Fluoride is a mineral that naturally occurs in water, soil, and certain foods. It’s added to dental products and public water systems to help protect your teeth.
How Fluoride Helps
-
Strengthens Enamel
Rebuilds weak spots in tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay. -
Prevents Cavities
Reduces the risk of tooth decay by up to 25%, according to long-term studies. -
Safe in Everyday Use
The levels used in toothpaste and tap water are proven safe and effective
Addressing Common Questions
-
Is Fluoride Safe?
Yes. It’s endorsed by the American Dental Association (ADA), the World Health Organization (WHO), and many others. -
Does Fluoride Cause Health Issues?
No. Studies show no credible link between fluoride use and major health conditions. -
