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 strengthen your teeth further 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 always attack and demineralize the enamel layer of your teeth. Fluoride works to re-mineralize the tooth enamel, preventing tooth decay and cavities. In addition, fluoride can strengthen the teeth as they develop to make sure they are strong and healthy, making fluoride essential for children as their teeth grow in.

Our dentist often recommends 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 applied using a varnish that adheres to your teeth. Fluoride treatment is just one of the ways our dentist helps you keep your smile healthy for a lifetime.
