Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that has been utilized for many years to help prevent tooth decay as well as root sensitivity. Fluoride helps strengthen the teeth through a process called remineralization within the mineral bonds to the weakened areas of the tooth enamel. It also disrupts the acid production, helping to inhibit the process that leads to tooth decay. Flouride treatments can benefit both adults and children.
Fluoride treatments can be done in the office and at home. In the office we apply now what is called a varnish to the enamel or apply fluoride in a stock tray for a minute, with both techniques we ask you to refrain from drinking and or eating for an hour. At home treatments are customized for our patients individual needs on a case by case basis.
