Detailed explanation-1: -Fluoride prevents tooth decay by making the enamel more resistant to the action of acids. They and accelerate the buildup of healthy minerals in the enamel, further slowing the occurrence of decay. Studies even show that in some cases, fluoride can stop already started teeth decay.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fluoride indeed increases bone mineral density, up to a point–but high doses makes bones more brittle, says Connett, a professor of environmental chemistry and toxicology at St. Lawrence University in New York.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fluoride is commonly used in dentistry to strengthen enamel, which is the outer layer of your teeth. Fluoride helps to prevent cavities. It’s also added in small amounts to public water supplies in the United States and in many other countries. This process is called water fluoridation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fluoride is a trace mineral naturally found in small amounts in a variety of foods. It is most recognized for its role in preventing and reversing dental caries and building strong teeth and bones. [1] Most fluoride is absorbed in the gut and stored in bones and teeth.
