Fluoride is a natural mineral that plays a critical role in protecting your teeth. It works by strengthening enamel—the outer layer of your teeth—making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars. Fluoride can even help reverse early stages of tooth decay before cavities fully form. Found in toothpaste, mouth rinses, and many water supplies, it’s one of the simplest and most effective ways to maintain strong teeth. Professional fluoride treatments provide an extra layer of protection, especially for those at higher risk of cavities.
