About Fluorides.

Fluorides are a class of therapeutic and prophylactic mineral agents primarily utilized in dental health to prevent and manage dental caries.

When applied topically or ingested, fluoride incorporates into developing or demineralized dental enamel to convert hydroxyapatite into fluorapatite, which increases enamel resistance to acid demineralization, promotes remineralization, and inhibits cariogenic bacterial metabolism.

Clinically available in topical formulations such as dentifrices, gels, and varnishes, as well as oral supplements, this class is primarily indicated for dental caries prophylaxis, the arrest of incipient carious lesions, and the reduction of dentin hypersensitivity.
