Fluoride is a natural element found in rocks and soil, and a low concentration of fluoride is found in most waters. Fluoride prevents tooth decay by making teeth stronger and more resistant to acid attacks. It also helps with slowing down or stopping the decay process.

When fluoride levels in water are at optimal levels, it helps to protect teeth against cavities. This is why so many community water systems add additional fluoride – a process called “fluoridation.”

Careful usage:

Optimal level of fluoride is 1 ppm (parts per million) concentration. Excess fluoride level have detrimental effects and can cause fluorosis in Children.
