Nicomethanol fluorohydrate (Fluorinol®) helps remineralize and protect tooth enamel. Fluoride binding helps remineralize enamel and increases tooth resistance to acid attacks which trigger decay. Siliglycol forms a protective film that encourages fluoride surface binding, even after mouth rinsing (3).
