SUMMARY:
Fluoride is a natural element found at varying concentrations in all drinking water. It is considered a beneficial nutrient and is present in trace amounts in the body. When consumed in optimal amounts through water and food, and when used topically in toothpastes, rinses, and dentist office treatments, fluoride reduces the risk and prevalence of dental decay and helps promote enamel remineralization throughout life.
