Fluoride Is Your Friend. Fluoride, aka nature’s cavity fighter, is a mineral found in the earth’s core. Before our teeth come in, our body absorbs it through nutrients to help build a resistance to tooth decay. Once our teeth are in, brushing or using other dental products with fluoride helps rebuild the eroded enamel and reverse the effects of tooth decay. With the risk of tooth decay lowered by using fluoride products, your chances of a heart attack or stroke also decrease.—Gregory G. Olsen, DDS, FICOI 1
