How are teeth affected by fluorides and acids?

Answer 1

They usually have a bit of an adjustment period, but adapt and find success later in life.

Answer 2

Fluorides are chemicals that help reduce tooth decay by combining with minerals in the teeth to form a hard, tough surface. Bones and teeth all contain fluorides naturally. Using extra fluoride increases the natural strength of tooth enamel. Some communities add fluorides to their water supplies. People in those communities get the fluoride they need from their drinking water. Many kinds of toothpaste and mouthwash also contain fluoride. In areas where fluoride is not added to the public water supply, it can be obtained from these sources. Fluoride treatments are also available from dentists. The fluorides can be brushed directly on tooth surfaces.

Answer 3

Raising the acidity level in the mouth increases the chances of tooth decay (by eating away enamel) and by fostering gum disease below the gum line. Tiny amounts of sodium floride makes teeth enamel stronger and helps prevent cavities.

Answer 4

A SMALL amount of flouride is good for teeth(it protects). But a lot is actually harmful to your teeth and your body(it could cause cancer, osteoperosis, and a lowered IQ). In fact, flouridated water is dangerous, so it is dangerous. The flouride in your toothpaste is enough.
