It is naturally found in soil, rocks, water (especially groundwater), and foods such as tea leaves, seafood, meat, and vegetables. Fluoride can help reduce the risk of tooth decay through two main mechanisms:Mechanisms of Fluoride in Preventing Tooth Decay1. Direct application of fluoride on the tooth surface: Strengthens the tooth surface. Reduces plaque buildup and helps remineralize teeth that have started to decay in the early stages. 2. Ingesting Fluoride: Fluoride that enters the body helps strengthen tooth structure while the teeth are still developing. It can be found in fluoridated drinking water, fluoride-enriched milk, and fluoride tablets. Recommendations for Using Fluoride1. For Children: Fluoride treatment can begin as soon as the first baby tooth erupts (around 6 months of age). It is recommended to consult with a dentist to assess the risk of tooth decay and choose the appropriate form and dosage of fluoride. 2. Using Fluoride Effectively: Use it in conjunction with proper oral care, such as brushing your teeth correctly and using dental floss.
