FLUORIDE

As we well know, Fluoride has been around for ages and is a naturally occurring mineral. Over 100 national and international organizations recognize the public health benefits of community water fluoridation for preventing dental decay.

We as health care professionals need to stand-up and acknowledge these benefits in the proper doses and help our patients optimize their oral health at home.
