Is it true that fluoride and saliva help enamel repair itself by replacing lost minerals?
Yes. Evidence consistently shows that fluoride and saliva work together to promote enamel remineralization by supplying and replacing lost minerals.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 5 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The analysis
Multiple studies demonstrate that saliva acts as a natural remineralizing medium and that topical fluoride treatments significantly enhance this mineral recovery process in damaged dental enamel.
