- Rinse your mouth with water or chew sugarless gum after meals if you can't brush.

What is fluoride and why is it important to dental health?
Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in many foods and water. It helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay. Some natural sources of fluoride include brewed black tea, lamb, cooked kale and spinach, carrots, and raisins. Drinking tap water can also provide fluoride, depending on your local water system.
