- Flouride Rinses to Prevent Cavities (JComisi.com)
"Unlike other fluoride rinses, Colgate(R) Phos-Flur(R) Anti- Cavity Fluoride Rinse contains fluoride and phosphate, one of the building blocks of teeth, to help prevent decalcification that leads to cavities." 2-04
- Flouride Rinses to Prevent Cavities (Udent.com)
"The process of tooth decay causes demineralization or loss of minerals. With the aid of fluorides, minerals can be incorporated back into the lesion through remineralization. Both the demineralization and remineralization processes are continuously ongoing within the tooth. When remineralization overcomes the demineralization process, caries (decay) can actually be reversed and the lesion repaired. The remineralization process also significantly increases the size of the enamel crystals. These larger crystals are more resistant to acid attack than even natural enamel."
However, excess flouride in the water supply can be harmful. "Ingestion of water having a fluoride concentration of two or three times greater than the recommended level can produce white flecks and chalky opaque areas. Consumption of water having a fluoride concentration of four times the recommended level can cause brown, pitted and corroded areas." Visitors sometimes misspell as floride. 2-04
