A recent study suggests fluoride found in dental products, which protects tooth enamel, is insufficient.
A study carried out at the Saarland University in Germany, showed that the protective shield of fluoride formed from using oral care products was hyped. The study found it to be 100 times thinner than previously believed.
Fluoride is an important element to protect tooth enamel, the hard white substance covering the surface of teeth. It helps in fighting decay and hence is an active ingredient in the development of oral care products such as mouthwash and toothpaste.
