There are many kinds of fluorides in toothpaste, each with its own characteristics and effects. The most common fluoride is sodium fluoride. This is a widely used inorganic fluoride with stable properties, which can effectively improve the acid resistance of teeth. By forming a calcium fluoride protective layer on the surface of the teeth, it can resist the erosion of acid substances on tooth enamel, thereby preventing dental caries.
In addition, sodium monofluorophosphate. It can slowly release fluoride ions in the mouth, and it has good compatibility with other ingredients in toothpaste, which can play an anti-caries effect for a long time. Not only that, it also has certain cleaning and antibacterial effects, helping to maintain oral cleanliness and a healthy environment.
There is also stannous fluoride. In addition to anti-caries functions, this fluoride has unique antibacterial and anti-allergic properties.

Different fluorides are used in toothpaste to show their own strengths. Consumers can carefully choose toothpaste containing suitable fluoride according to their own oral conditions, such as whether they are prone to dental caries, whether they have sensitive teeth, etc., to achieve the effect of ideal oral care.
