8. What is the primary mechanism associated with the role of fluoride in prevention of dental caries?

B. Decay is inhibited due to neutralization of organic acids produced by bacteria on the teeth.
C. Decay is reduced due to the inhibitory effects of fluoride on growth of bacteria on the teeth.

7 c
Coenzyme is basically a secondary helper. Think of it like a 2nd pair of hands on a person. You can do more work.
