The invention relates to the use of fluoride to treat biofilms in both industrial, domestic and medical environments including the dental environment. Fluoride weakens the associations between neighbouring cells in a biofilm and has the effect of opening up the film rendering it more permeable. Thus the invention provides inter alia the use of fluoride to prepare a fluoride-containing agent for contacting with a biofilm to increase the permeability of a biofilm. |
