Fluoride Treatments - Essential Care for Healthy Teeth
At Warrington Dental PC, we provide professional fluoride treatments as part of our comprehensive approach to oral health care. Fluoride is a natural mineral that plays a crucial role in strengthening teeth and preventing cavities.
What is a Fluoride Treatment and How Does it Benefit Oral Health?
Fluoride treatment involves the application of a high concentration of fluoride to the teeth. This treatment helps in remineralizing tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth, and thereby preventing tooth decay.
Who Needs Fluoride Treatments?
While fluoride treatments are particularly beneficial for children and teenagers, adults can also benefit from them, especially if they have a history of frequent cavities, gum disease, dry mouth conditions, or wear dental braces.
What is the Process of Receiving a Fluoride Treatment?
The process is quick and straightforward. After a dental cleaning, fluoride is applied to the teeth in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish. The fluoride is left on the teeth for a few minutes to allow it to be fully absorbed.
How Often Should I Receive Fluoride Treatments?
The frequency of fluoride treatments can vary depending on individual oral health needs. Generally, we recommend treatments every 6 to 12 months.
Are Fluoride Treatments Safe?
Yes, fluoride treatments are safe and effective when administered by a dental professional. The benefits of fluoride in preventing tooth decay have been well-documented over the years.
