Teeth’s best friend... Fluoride!
People underestimate the benefits of fluoride. Fluoride in itself is very beneficial for your teeth. Fluoride not only helps prevent cavities, it also helps prevent sensitivity.
“Our teeth are like a sponge, constantly absorbing everything you put into your mouth” explains Dr. Nicholas G Zeik of Zeik Dental in Marlboro NJ. Fluoride works to strengthen tooth enamel and forestall the effects of decay, which is highly important due to the fact that enamel does not regenerate. Once it is gone, it is gone forever, and this can lead to a number of problems. Fortunately, you don't have to do anything special to get access to fluoride, as it is present in most drinking water, various types of toothpaste, and different brands of mouthwashes. Dr. Zeik recommends rinsing two to three times a day with fluoride.
