Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral often found in foods and water. Fluoride is a powerful material for strengthening the teeth and preventing oral issues. Because of this, over-the-counter toothpastes, mouthwashes, and gels will include fluoride to help improve oral health. Although these products can be effective, dentists are able to professionally apply fluoride treatments that are much stronger and more effective than the normal over-the-counter items. When you ask your dentist for a fluoride treatment they will apply a foam, varnish, or gel rich in fluoride to your teeth. The dentist will let the substance sit on your teeth for a few minutes and then remove it, and that's it! These treatments are super easy and highly effective when administered by a professional.
What are the Benefits of Fluoride Treatments?
Strengthens Enamel: Everyday life causes food, sugars, and bacteria to accumulate in our mouths. Over time this accumulation of bacteria and plaque eats away at the minerals in our tooth enamel, which is the outside layer of protection for your teeth. Fluoride treatments help to strengthen enamel by remineralizing it, leading to stronger, less sensitive, and well-protected teeth.
Reverses Tooth Decay: Fluoride reverses tooth decay by making the teeth more resistant to acid produced by bacteria and plaque. This is important, especially for individuals or children who are at high risk for tooth decay because of genetics or medical conditions. If you notice tooth decay, act fast and reverse the damage with fluoride treatments.
Prevents Cavities:
Fluoride itself prevents the growth of cavity-causing bacteria by reducing the acidic tolerance of these bacteria. If you struggle with cavities, regular fluoride treatments can help to reduce and prevent cavities from forming.
Easy Care Method: Fluoride treatments are super easy and effective. These treatments are non-invasive and take no longer than 5 minutes to apply. Take control of your oral health with this preventative dentistry service and put a stop to tooth decay, sensitivity, cavities, and other oral issues.
