What does it do?

Sodium fluoride is an inorganic compound that provides fluoride ions, used for dental health. It primarily acts on the tooth surface to reduce the occurrence of cavities and to harden the teeth.

Sodium fluoride deposits on the tooth surface, enhancing the mineral structure of the teeth. As a result, acid-induced dental erosion decreases and the risk of cavities is reduced.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
