Fluoride Treatments for Enhanced Dental Health

There are numerous factors that lead to tooth decay, otherwise known as cavities, & there are many ways to prevent it. Tooth decay can be a significant problem for children as well as adults.

Fluoride Treatments

 

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral renowned for its ability to prevent tooth decay and even reverse it in its early stages. It works by strengthening the enamel, the hard, protective outer layer of your teeth, which shields the softer dentin underneath. Fluoride aids in remineralizing tiny micro-cavities, preventing them from developing into larger cavities and causing further dental issues. Many communities incorporate fluoride into their water supply to promote stronger teeth within the population. Fluoride is also found in various foods, such as pickles, grape juice, spinach, and tomatoes, and is a key ingredient in most toothpastes and some mouthwashes.

What Is Fluoride?

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that has been shown to both prevent tooth decay & even reverse it in the early stages. Fluoride acts by strengthening your enamel, which is the hard shiny outer layer of your teeth that protects the softer, more vulnerable dentin beneath. Fluoride can re-mineralize tiny micro-cavities before they have the chance to grow into larger cavities & cause problems.

 

We Offer Fluoride Treatments

At our office, we offer professional fluoride treatments for children, who are often at higher risk for cavities as their teeth grow & develop & they learn good oral hygiene habits. We recommend fluoride as a preventive treatment for children. Fluoride treatments are usually done at six-month cleaning appointments. Treatment involves the dentist applying varnish to your teeth using a gel, foam, or a rinse. We may also recommend fluoride treatments for adults who are at high risk of tooth decay.

And of course, we always recommend that you use a toothpaste that contains fluoride.
