The Power of Fluoride

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that’s capable of doing remarkable things in your mouth like strengthening tooth enamel, preventing cavities and reducing sensitivity.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is so beneficial that it is added to certain products like toothpaste, gum, and even your drinking water.

To help ensure that you’re getting enough fluoride, our dentist can give you a professional treatment when you come in for your dental cleanings. Doing so will provide you with a layer of protection against harmful acids, sugars, and bacteria that can damage your teeth. Fluoride treatments are important for children and adults alike.

There are different applications available which include foam, gel, or varnish being placed on your teeth. The procedure is quick and painless. In fact, the flavors to choose from can be quite delicious!

Overuse of Fluoride

There can be too much of a good thing so don’t go crazy with your fluoride intake. Our dental professionals can help you find the right amount and forms of fluoride for your specific needs.

Overuse of fluoride can be especially bad for children whose teeth are developing because it can alter the appearance and cause spots on their permanent teeth.
