As the demand for individualized and holistic oral care continues to grow, dental professionals must be prepared to address diverse patient preferences and questions surrounding fluoride. This engaging, evidence-based CE webinar explores the science behind remineralization and compares the efficacy of fluoride with emerging alternatives like calcium phosphate technologies, hydroxyapatite, and xylitol. Attendees will gain practical strategies to tailor care based on age, health status, caries risk, and patient concerns—while reinforcing the role of prevention in enamel health.

By the end of this CE webinar, participants will be able to:
• Explain how fluoride aids in the remineralization of enamel and prevents demineralization
• Identify and describe alternatives to fluoride that promote remineralization, including calcium phosphate technologies, hydroxyapatite, and xylitol
• Compare the effectiveness of fluoride and its alternatives based on current scientific evidence
• Discuss common concerns about fluoride and provide balanced, evidence-informed guidance to help patients make informed decisions
• Demonstrate how to tailor fluoride or alternative remineralization strategies based on patient age, health status, and risk factors for caries
• Emphasize the importance of preventative measures like diet, oral hygiene practices, and regular dental visits in maintaining enamel health
• Provide an overview of commonly available products (both professional and over-the-counter) containing fluoride or alternatives, including their indications and correct usage
• Practice delivering clear, concise explanations to patients regarding the pros and cons of fluoride and alternative remineralization methods   ( disclaimer , AGD PACE Statement )
