If someone could explain this sentence to me that would be great, my test is in 15 days, thanks

Fluoride has antimicrobial activity. In low concentrations fluoride ion inhibits the enzymatic
production of glucosyltransferase. Glucosyltransfemse prevents glucose from
forming extracellular polysaccharides, and this reduces bacterial adhesion and slows ecological
succession.

so i get the impression that glucosyltransferase has a desirable function, then why would fluoride inhibit it ?!?!...this sentence is from decks pedo cards #36 2011-2012 version.....pleaaaaase anyone explain thanks

Hey guys,
Can anyone tell me what study materials are needed for nbde2?
I have the first aid review and dental decks I need to get the ASDA question papers. Does anyone have them? Please help me out with this.
