Fluoride action for dental consolidation
2004/03/01 Elhuyar Zientzia Iturria: Elhuyar aldizkaria
Fluoride has long been known to help protect teeth, but researchers did not know how to do so. Well, a group of crystallographs have found that fluoride helps fix calcium in teeth. Acidic substances cause tooth enamel to lose calcium and gradually dissolve the tooth.
The adhesion of fluoride to calcium ions allows the tooth surface to not lose calcium. However, it is said that fluoride is very superficial, so it is easily lost when chewing. Therefore, the convenience of frequent fluoride use is discussed.
