Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in our water, soil, and rocks. The discovery of the benefits of fluoride has been one of the biggest advancements in dentistry over the past 100 years, and it is no surprise that local and federal health agencies choose to have it added to our drinking water. Fluoride helps strengthen the enamel of both baby and permanent teeth, reverses early tooth decay, and inhibits the growth of bacteria on teeth.
