Research Notes on Fluoride and Teeth
While brushing the teeth and flossing are important in prevention of tooth decay, they may not be enough. Research indicates that the use of fluoride, along with daily brushing and flossing, is most effective in preventing cavities. Decades ago, scientists discovered that kids who naturally had more fluoride in their drinking water had fewer cavities. In the mid-1940's, communities started to put more fluorides in their water supplies to protect people against tooth decay.
