About The Video
In this video, Ms Raudhah introduces fluoride and its importance in maintaining healthy teeth. She explains that fluoride is a naturally occurring compound found in water, soil, and food, and that its benefits have led to its inclusion in water supplies, mouthwash, and toothpaste. Fluoride strengthens the outer enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque and food.
She also highlights fluoride’s ability to repair the early stages of tooth decay by replenishing minerals such as calcium and phosphate. By slowing down bacterial activity and reducing demineralisation, fluoride plays a key role in cavity prevention. Ms Raudhah emphasises that applying fluoride regularly through professional treatments or daily use of fluoride toothpaste helps protect teeth over the long term, reducing the risk of decay and keeping smiles strong.
Fluoride is an essential part of modern dental care. Found naturally in water and food, it has been added to toothpastes, rinses, and even public water supplies because of its protective effect. Fluoride strengthens enamel, making teeth more resistant to acids, and can repair early signs of decay by restoring lost minerals. By slowing down bacteria and supporting enamel health, fluoride reduces the likelihood of cavities and helps maintain strong teeth throughout life.
