What is fluoride?
Fluoride is naturally present in different water sources including lakes, rivers, and oceans. Fluoride is also naturally found in different levels in some foods and beverages. Fluoride is added to dental products including toothpaste to help protect your teeth from developing cavities.
Tooth decay (leading to cavities) is a common disease that affects millions of people all over the world. Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay, and many toothpaste brands add it to their products. Fluoride has been used in toothpaste for a long time to prevent tooth decay. Dental experts recommend regular toothbrushing to prevent the occurrence of dental decay, cavities, and other types of oral diseases. They generally recommend brushing your teeth for two minutes twice a day using fluoride toothpaste.
