Message 1: Creates a strong surface
Fluoride in drinking water is taken in by teeth still developing below the gum to help create a strong surface, protecting the teeth from cavities.
Message 2: Protects teeth all day long
In children and adults, teeth are bathed in fluoride when drinking water, giving teeth the fluoride they need all day long.
Message 3: Rebuilds tooth surfaces
Acid produced by bacteria in the mouth can create holes in the surface of the teeth. Fluoride helps protect and rebuild this surface, preventing up to 25% of cavities.
