Mode of Action

ACT® Anticavity Fluoride Mouthwash creates a non-acidic, pH-balanced environment in the mouth and works along with the patient’s saliva. Because the caries process produces acid and lowers intraoral pH, consistent use of a neutral sodium fluoride can help bind to teeth, oral mucosa and plaque. ACT® Anticavity Fluoride Mouthwash can help prevent demineralization, promote remineralization and ultimately serve as an effective defense against caries.7

Fluoride works together with calcium and phosphate in saliva to prevent dental caries.
