Fluoride is a natural substance that is found in rocks, soil, and water. It prevents tooth decay in children and adults.

Fluoride helps keep teeth healthy by:

Strengthening tooth enamel
Reversing early tooth decay by replacing and preventing the loss of minerals that make teeth healthy
Stopping the growth of bacteria that cause cavities

The U.S. Public Health Service recommends 0.7 parts per million of fluoride in drinking water, or about 3 drops of fluoride in a 55-gallon barrel, to prevent tooth decay.
