∙ 7y agoFluorine - or more acurately the anion "fluoride" (F-) - such as the stannous fluoride - aka Tin(II) fluoride or SnF2 - used in some types of toothpaste and dental rinses. The fluoride in stannous fluoride can convert the calcium mineral apatite into fluorapatite which can then be incorporated into the enamel of teeth. Normal tooth enamel contains hydroxyapatite which is somewhat more susceptible to decay from bacteria-generated acid attacks than than fluoriapatite so the flouride strengthens the tooth enamel and can even repair some of the damage to the natural enamel.
