Fluoride helps teeth resist decay. If your dentist thinks added fluoride would be useful, they may recommend applying a fluoride gel. They may also suggest the use of fluoride rinses, tablets or drops as an extra help against decay for use at home.

Only use these if you have been advised to do so, and follow the instructions carefully.
