We wanted to expand on the topic of fluoride that we discussed two weeks ago.
The photo to the left shows white spots caused by demineralization due too poor oral hygiene, primarily poor brushing. What actually happens is that the acid produced by bacteria removes the minerals from the enamel, weakens the teeth thus allowing the process of tooth decay to begin. Notice the cavity already forming in one of the front teeth.
The solution is to get ahead of this damaging process by properly brushing and adding topical fluoride such as that available in children mouthwash products. Please read previous blogs on the use of toothpaste and mouthwashes or contact Enchanted Forest to get additional guidance.
