Have you always looked for a super healthy way to get white healthy teeth?

Well you don't have to look further than your tooth let sink

In this post, you will learn one secret ingredient in your search for strong healthy white teeth you might have been ignoring all these years.

Most people feed on certain foods termed as "Junk food" 

These foods do real damage to your pearly whites not just because of cavity-causing bacteria starts feasting on the carbohydrates in these foods but because they lack a counter-measure nutrient that nutralizes these bacteria

This one NUTRIENT alone will double your teeth health and protect you from tooth decay.

What is this open secret?

The nutrient is the Super hero Nutrient called

FLUORIDE

So what does fluoride actually do?

When these fluoride compounds are in your mouth, they can actually make your teeth stronger and prevent cavities. They can even reverse early tooth decay. 

To begin, let’s look at what fluoride is working so hard to protect – your teeth.

Tooth enamel is the outer covering of your teeth. It’s stronger than bone and made from calcium and phosphate. Your spit, or saliva, is also loaded with calcium and phosphate and bathes the teeth to keep them strong. 

When you eat things like candy, crackers or noodles, cavity-causing bacteria starts feasting on the carbohydrates in these foods.

This produces acids that attack your enamel. It causes calcium and phosphate to be stripped from the tooth enamel, leaving you more vulnerable to decay and cavities.

However, saliva disrupts the attack as it coats your teeth and adds back calcium and phosphate to  replace what had been stripped away. 

Now, here’s where fluoride is the superhero. When your saliva has fluoride in it from sources like toothpaste or water, your teeth are able to take it in. Once in your enamel, fluoride teams up with calcium and phosphate there to create the most powerful defense system your teeth can have to prevent cavities from forming: fluoroapatite. It’s much stronger, more resistant to decay and fights to protect your teeth. 

How Can YOU Get Fluoride On Your Side?

There are many ways to get fluoride fighting for you. Fluoride is found in community water systems. (Find out if your water supply contains fluoride.) It is also found in some mouth rinses, and your dentist can apply it to your teeth in the dental office. 

On the home front, be sure to brush your teeth twice a day with a toothpaste that has the NAFDAC seal. This means that it has been tested and shown to contain the right amount of fluoride to protect your teeth.  And be sure to drink water with fluoride. Be aware that not all bottled waters, for example, contain fluoride.
