Abstract
Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, has long been recognized for its preventive effects against dental caries and its role in promoting overall oral health. Fluoride-containing toothpastes are widely used worldwide as a primary measure to strengthen enamel, inhibit demineralization, and reduce the incidence of cavities. This review explores the mechanisms by which fluoride acts on dental structures, examines its efficacy in maintaining oral hygiene, and evaluates potential risks associated with excessive fluoride exposure. By synthesizing current research, the study highlights the balance between the therapeutic benefits of fluoride toothpaste and the importance of safe usage practices. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for both dental professionals and the general public to optimize oral health outcomes.
