Do teeth that have been root canaled respond to fluoride?

Fluoride is absorbed by the enamel, dentin, and the cementum. Since the pulp has been removed, than no absorption is possible into the pulp.

Fluoride will be absorbed by all of the hard tissues not a tooth, but primarily the enamel. Once the damaged pulp (blood vessels, nerves,, etc) of a tooth has been removed, the hard tissues become more brittle and prone to fracturing. Capping the tooth to resist fracture soften recommended. Ask your Dentist what he/she recommends.
