Answer 2

Fluorine is essential for preventing dental caries. (Option a)

• Dental caries is the medical or dental term for tooth cavities or decay.
• It occurs due to the action of bacterial acids that results in the dissolution of the minerals in the teeth.
• Fluoride is naturally present in our bodies and its role is to construct, maintain, and repair the bones and teeth.
• The tooth enamel is what actually protects our teeth.
• Acids can weaken this tooth enamel making the teeth prone to decay and cavities.
• Using or applying fluorine will help to prevent enamel damage and hence avoid decay and cavities.
• Fluorine can hinder bacterial metabolism and thus, inhibit their acid production.
• They help in lowering the chance of cavities and decay through remineralization.
