Can I benefit from using an ACT fluoride rinse? For individuals who are at a high risk of developing cavities, incorporating an ACT fluoride rinse has been shown to aid in the prevention of developing cavities, as well as in some cases, reverse the depletion of enamel on the teeth.

Almost 60% of the brands' fluoride concentrations were significantly different (mainly lower) from the label value. However, only 5 brands contain fluoride at a concentration not significantly different from the recommended fluoride concentration in daily mouthrinses 0.05% (225 ppm).

Although toothpastes and mouthwashes can never “rebuild” teeth, they can contribute to this remineralization process. Remineralization introduces minerals, especially calcium, to the teeth. These minerals bond to the surface of the teeth and are drawn to weak points in the enamel.
