- It was found that enamel receives nutrients not only from the inside of the tooth, but also from its surface. A special feature of fluorine is its ability to draw calcium from the salivary gland. Therefore, enamel replenishes the reserves of the necessary substances, while the tooth restores its natural mineral structure.
