Background to fluoride
Fluoride is a naturally occurring chemical compound found in the earth’s crust and in water sources. The discovery of its health benefits in dentistry took place at the beginning of the 20th century. Researchers discovered that areas with higher natural fluoride in the drinking water had fewer problems with tooth decay and cavities. This led to the introduction of fluoridated water and fluoridated toothpastes, which have helped to reduce the incidence of caries and strengthen tooth mineralization. So on Fluor Aunt’s Day, let’s pay tribute to this substance that keeps our smiles strong!
