Fluoride kills Bacteria along with protecting teeth through remineralization Harte Dental

Many of us know that fluoride PROTECTS teeth from bacteria and the acids that they produce... But did you know that fluoride actually KILLS BACTERIA

Fluoride (found in water supplies, toothpaste, food, and mouth rinses) remineralizes tooth enamel, making it much stronger. This shields your teeth from the acidity around them. 

Fluoride also kills bacteria on your teeth by disrupting their cell membranes and inhibiting metabolic enzymes. 

Fluoride can be a true hero for your teeth!
