Oral Health Care & Prevention: Floride Treatments

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is widely used in modern day dentistry in helping to prevent tooth decay. It is a mineral that is found throughout our natural surroundings from drinking water to many types of foods. It is absorbed into the bones and teeth and through a process known as“remineralization” our bodies naturally use Fluoride to repair damage caused by decay. When it comes to your teeth, the Fluoride is absorbed by your teeth’s enamel which strengthens them and prevents tooth decay. The preventive benefits of Fluoride are so well established that sodium fluoride is added as a supplement to most public drinking supplies across the U.S. since it is both safe in limited quantities and known to prevent tooth decay.

Until the age of 18, at each visit to our clinic, fluoride will be applied to your teeth. This is a concentrated fluoride application which should not be removed by rinsing for at least a half hour.
