The majority of products utilize peroxide to remove stains, which dissolve enamel. It doesn't use bleach to get rid of stains on your teeth.

She also points out that some people get fluoride through their city water — but this isn't universally applicable.

"However, most people are drinking bottled or filtered water, and the fluoride is removed." Rhonda Kalasho, DMD is a Doctor of Dentistry based in Beverly Hills, California.

"It works with saliva to protect tooth enamel from plaque and sugars."If you have fluorosis. "Fluoride can strengthen your existing teeth and make them more resistant to cavities; however, when fluoride is ingested in large amounts, it can cause a condition called dental fluorosis, which causes discoloration and pitting in the teeth along with brown or white spots," says Dr. Saw. This is pretty rare and comes from overconsuming fluoride in the past–so you're not going to develop it from using fluoridated toothpaste or water.

This toothpaste contains fluoride to help prevent cavities, and it's also infused with calcium to help repair and strengthen tooth enamel. Plus, it has a refreshing minty flavor that will leave your mouth feeling clean and refreshed.
