Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally, and just so happens to hold the power to help protect your teeth from decay. Most water contains some fluoride, but many communities across the country supplement those trace amounts with enough to provide tooth-saving benefits for residents. If your water doesn’t contain fluoride, there are still ways to access it. Look for a toothpaste or mouthwash that contains fluoride, and feel free to consult with our team at Smiles Dental for recommendations.
