Fluoride is one of the best ingredients to look for in your toothpaste and mouth rinses. It's also something we use in our practice when your teeth need an extra layer of protection with preventive care. However, what kind of benefits of fluoride can you expect?

The American Dental Association (ADA) highlights several of these benefits, from strengthening tooth enamel to helping prevent cavities before they start. Make sure you choose a toothpaste with the ADA seal of approval that also contains fluoride.
