Fluoride
Fluoride is not harmful to the patient's health. Regular use of fluoride in children makes tooth enamel harder and more resistant to the substances that cause tooth decay. Fluoride has also been proven to prevent tooth decay and root diseases in older adults. Fluoride is added to most public water supplies in safe amounts. For instance, Edmond's water has a small amount of natural fluoridation; however it is not at the recommended level. It can also be found in most toothpastes, mouth rinses and gels. Any form helps to keep teeth strong.
