FLUORIDE & DECAY PREVENTION
Studies conducted proved that children born and raised in areas with natural fluoride in drinking water had fewer cavities than children in other areas. Fluoride absorbed by your body when teeth were forming (during the mother’s pregnancy to early childhood) integrates into the structure of enamel and makes it stronger.
​
After teeth eruption, fluoride found in your toothpaste, mouthwash, or in what your dentist places on your teeth still has a positive effect on your teeth. It strengthens the enamel and reduces the chance of tooth decay.
If you and your children live in an area where there is no fluoride in drinking water, you should consult your dentist and get fluoride treatment.
