What does fluoride seems to be helpful in preventing? Fluoride is found naturally in soil and water. However, because it is helpful in preventing tooth decay and in making teeth stronger, it is also added to water in most cities. Fluoride protects teeth from the demineralization that is caused by acid buildup in the mouth. Further, if there is already damage caused by this acid, fluoride will help strengthen the enamel and remineralize the teeth. Fluoride helps make tooth enamel more resistant to the acid that can damage the enamel and cause cavities.
