Fluoride reduces the solubility of enamel in acid medium

It is becoming more and more important in our care. It should begin in early childhood.
 
 For many years, pediatricians prescribe fluoride. Fluoride taken orally will strengthen the tooth enamel in training.
 
 The role of fluorine is unanimously acknowledged in preventing tooth decay. He has a share before the eruption dental and it also plays a protective role when the teeth are already on the arcade. Fluoride reduces the solubility of enamel in acid medium.
 Fluorine is found in some mineral water in the tap water in some areas in table salt, including enriched fluoride in toothpaste and mouthwash fluorinated.
 The topical fluoride (toothpaste, mouthwash, applications of fluoride in cabinet) promotes remineralization.
 
 A healthy diet is also important.
 A diet rich in carbohydrates is a major cause of developing cavities and the sticky confection.
 Therefore, we must avoid giving children snacks too sweet or sticky. A good balanced diet also contributes to an improvement of breath.
 
 The oral hygiene plays a vital role in preventing tooth decay.
 We must teach children to brush their teeth.
 
 Brushing teeth is a key means of prevention.
 An effective brushing should last three minutes. To view the past, simply use an hourglass, the three minutes have passed when the upper part of the hourglass is empty.
