General Dentistry, Kewaskum Family Dentistry, Patient Education

As a natural cavity fighter, fluoride is important in maintaining oral health. Fluoride is even added to some countries’ public water supplies, including the United States, to help citizens maintain good oral health. What is fluoride?
