If the teeth are damaged by acid, fluoride gathers in these demineralised areas and strengthens the enamel. This process is called remineralisation. However, fluoride also works by preventing the demineralisation which is caused by acid. It is the bacteria in the mouth which combines with sugars that produces the acid causing the erosion of tooth enamel. This happens by lowering the solubility of tooth structure in acid conditions. There is some evidence fluoroapatite which is formed to replace some of the natural hydroxyapatite in enamel and Dentine slightly modifies the shape of teeth strengthening the normally weak fissures in the tooth surface.
Be aware. Fluoride is useful for preventing cavities and making teeth stronger, but it is much less effective if a cavity has already been formed.

www.standrewsdentalcare.com/ Fluoride is a safe and effective way to protect teeth from what is the second most common disease in the world. Bad teeth can cause pain and infections from bad teeth can be life threatening. Loss of teeth affects the person life in many ways: health, diet and nutrition, self confidence, speech,are all affected to a great degree. Fluoride in water works with no need for any action on behalf of the person drinking it. Water filters will remove the fluoride for people who are against its inclusion as such fluoridation is a very positive thing an should be recommended. Fluoride is not available to protect the teeth of children in the Humberside area.
