What is Fluoride?

Fluoride, is a naturally occurring mineral, is not only beneficial, but is essential to teeth.

It makes up the enamel of teeth—or the hard outer layer. As we use our teeth, bacteria, sugar and acids break down the enamel, which weakens teeth.

It also builds the enamel back up again in a process known as re-mineralizing.

Strengthening the weak enamel is what protects teeth from tooth decay and cavities, an essential process for a healthier smile.

Today, almost 75 percent of the U.S. population is served by fluoridated community water systems.
