[[Fluoride therapy]] is often recommended to protect against dental caries. It has been demonstrated that [[water fluoridation]] and fluoride supplements decrease the incidence of dental caries. Fluoride helps prevent decay of a tooth by binding to the hydroxyapatite crystals in enamel.<ref>Cate, A.R. Ten. "''Oral Histology: development, structure, and function.''" 5th edition, 1998, p. 223. ISBN 0-8151-2952-1.</ref> The incorporated fluoride makes enamel more resistant to demineralization and, thus, resistant to decay.<ref>Ross, Michael H., Gordon I. Kaye, and Wojciech Pawlina, 2003. "''Histology: a text and atlas.''" 4th edition, p. 453. ISBN 0-683-30242-6.</ref> Topical fluoride is also recommended to protect the surface of the teeth. This may include a fluoride [[toothpaste]] or mouthwash. Many dentists include application of topical fluoride solutions as part of routine visits.
Furthermore, recent research shows that low intensity [[laser]] radiation of [[argon]] ion lasers may prevent the susceptibility for enamel caries and white spot lesions.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Westerman GH, Hicks MJ, Flaitz CM, Powell GL |title=In vitro caries formation in primary tooth enamel: role of argon laser irradiation and remineralizing solution treatment |journal=J Am Dent Assoc |volume=137 |issue=5 |pages=638–44 |year=2006 |month=May |pmid=16739544 |url=http://jada.ada.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=16739544 |day=01}}</ref> Also, as bacteria are a major factor contributing to poor oral health, there is currently research to find a [[Caries vaccine|vaccine for dental caries]]. As of 2004, such a vaccine has been successfully tested on animals,<ref>[
