What is fluoride? You’ve probably heard that it’s beneficial to your dental health, but do you know why? Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps to fight plaque and bacteria that can cause eroding of tooth enamel, which in turn can cause cavities. Even though fluoride is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, it’s important to supplement fluoride intake by drinking fluoridated water and using fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash.

Sometimes it may be easier to just go to bed without brushing your teeth or to skip flossing if you feel like you don’t need it, but don’t underestimate the power of plaque! Anything that is too acidic or contains too much sugar can break down your enamel. Weakening of the enamel can lead to cavities and dental disease, so it’s best to avoid harmful foods altogether.
