“As the researchers explain, arginine is a naturally occurring amino acid that’s metabolized by helpful oral bacteria to produce ammonia, which neutralizes the acidic environment that leads to cavities.

"It helps prevent demineralization rather than trying to harden enamel as fluoride does after damage has already occurred. The arginine supports your mouth’s natural protective systems rather than imposing an intervention from the outside.

"Studies like this one are especially relevant as more communities reconsider their policies on water fluoridation. Their fear-based arguments suggesting that fluoride-free water means dental disaster simply don’t hold up when you understand that effective alternatives exist.”
