Fluoride treatment is an essential part of maintaining good oral health. It involves the application of fluoride to the teeth in order to strengthen them and prevent tooth decay.
The Wonders of FLUORIDE
what is fluoride?
Fluoride is a natural mineral that can be found in soil, water, and certain foods. It is also added to many dental products such as toothpaste and mouthwash.
When applied to the teeth, fluoride helps to strengthen the enamel, which is the outer layer of the teeth that protects them from decay. It can also reverse early signs of tooth decay by remineralizing weakened areas of the enamel.
Why Do We Need Fluoride Treatment?
Even with proper oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing regularly, our teeth are still susceptible to decay. This is because the bacteria in our mouths produce acids that can wear down the enamel over time.
Fluoride treatment provides an extra layer of protection for our teeth against these harmful acids. It also helps to repair any small areas of damage before they become larger cavities that may require more extensive treatment.
Who Can Benefit from Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride treatment is beneficial for people of all ages. Children, in particular, can benefit greatly as their teeth are still developing and are more prone to decay.
People who have a history of tooth decay or have certain medical conditions that increase their risk of cavities may also benefit from fluoride treatment.
How is Fluoride Treatment Applied?
Fluoride can be applied in various forms, including gels, foams, and varnishes. The most common way it is applied at the dental clinic is through a professional fluoride treatment.
During this treatment, your dentist will use a highly concentrated gel or foam and apply it to your teeth using a tray or brush. The treatment only takes a few minutes, and the fluoride will be left on your teeth for at least one minute before being rinsed off.
