Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is used to strengthen and protect teeth against decay. If your tooth decays, you will most likely require either a dental filling or a root canal. A decayed tooth may need to be extracted in extreme cases.
Fluoride is a mineral that naturally occurs in water and many foods. While you get some fluoride from your diet and fluoride toothpaste, we may recommend fluoride treatment to help strengthen your teeth and prevent cavities.
Fluoride strengthens and protects your teeth from decay. Bacteria, sugars, and acids constantly attack and demineralize the enamel of your teeth as you eat and drink throughout the day. Fluoride helps to remineralize tooth enamel, which helps to prevent tooth decay and cavities. Fluoride can also strengthen teeth as they grow, ensuring their strength and health. Fluoride is especially important for children as their teeth develop.
Why Is Fluoride Treatment Required?
While these treatments are most commonly used on children, they are equally beneficial for adults. Here are some reasons why you might require them:
- You do not use fluoride toothpaste.
- You do not drink fluoridated water.
- You're prone to tooth decay and cavities - For use at home, a fluoride toothpaste with prescription strength might be suggested.
- You have several fillings in your mouth already.
- You want to protect your own or your child's teeth
