When bacteria react with plaque - deposited from the food we eat - acids are produced which begin to de-mineralize the teeth. Our own saliva acts as a natural buffering agent and helps neutralize these
acids. When acid is neutralized, chemicals in saliva, such as calcium and phosphorous, re-mineralize the previously de-mineralized areas. The re-mineralization process occurs even if plaque is still present.

Furthermore, if fluoride is present during re-mineralization, it is physically incorporated into the tooth structure and those re-mineralized areas become more resistant to acid attack and thus more decay resistant.

The key to the development of a more acid-resistant tooth is not the amount of fluoride applied to the tooth but the frequency of its application. For the re-mineralized tooth to enjoy higher levels of acid resistance, this application should be daily. There's no better or more convenient way to attain a daily fluoride treatment than with a good-tasting lozenge like Lozi-Flur.
