Protect and strengthen your teeth

Fluoride is a mineral that is naturally found in water and many foods. While you receive a certain amount of fluoride from your diet and from using toothpaste with fluoride, we may recommend fluoride treatment to further strengthen your teeth and prevent cavities.

Fluoride helps to strengthen your teeth and protect them from tooth decay. As you eat and drink throughout the day, bacteria, sugars and acids constantly attack and demineralize the enamel of your teeth. Fluoride works to remineralize tooth enamel, preventing tooth decay and cavities. In addition, fluoride can strengthen teeth as they develop to make sure they are strong and healthy. This makes fluoride very important for children as their teeth grow in.

Don’t Forget Fluoride Treatments

Our dentist and team members may recommend professional fluoride treatment during your regular dental checkup. We may suggest further fluoride treatment if your teeth are prone to decay or if you are not receiving a sufficient amount of fluoride from other sources. Professional fluoride is available in the form of a gel, varnish or foam. Fluoride treatment is just one of the ways our team helps you keep your smile healthy for a lifetime. For more information about preventive dentistry and the benefits of fluoride, we welcome you to contact us today. We are eager to care for your smile!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does fluoride help prevent tooth decay?

Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens teeth and makes them more resistant to decay. It works in two ways: topical fluoride, found in products like toothpaste and mouth rinses, strengthens the tooth enamel after the teeth have erupted. Systemic fluoride, found in foods and water supplies, helps strengthen both erupted teeth and those still developing beneath the gums.

When might a dentist recommend additional fluoride treatments?

A dentist may recommend home or professional fluoride treatments if a patient has deep pits in their teeth, exposed roots, poor oral hygiene, frequent intake of sugary foods, or if they have a history of tooth decay. Fluoride treatments are also advised for individuals with low saliva flow due to medical conditions or medications.
