Fluoride Treatment

When it comes to maintaining optimal dental health, preventive measures play a crucial role. One such preventive treatment offered by South Bay Dentistry is fluoride treatment.

Why Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel. It also helps prevent tooth decay. It works by remineralizing the teeth and reversing the early stages of tooth decay. Since fluoride is not always present in sufficient amounts in our daily diet, professional fluoride treatments provide an added layer of protection for our teeth.

Topical Fluoride Treatment

Types of Fluoride Treatments

 

Topical Fluoride Treatments

Topical fluoride treatments are directly applied to the teeth in the form of gels, foams, or varnishes. Topical fluoride treatments are quick, painless, and often performed during regular dental visits. Incorporating these treatments into your oral care routine can significantly contribute to maintaining a healthy smile and preventing dental problems in the long run.

Fluoride Treatment through toothpaste

Another common form of fluoride treatment that most dentists advise is fluoride toothpaste. These kinds of toothpaste have fluoride as a primary content that strengthens tooth enamel and protects against tooth decay. These types of fluoride toothpaste helps to promote remineralization and make them more resistant to acid attacks.

Fluoride Mouthwash Treatment

Fluoride mouthwash is an additional option for delivering fluoride to the teeth. It is swished around the mouth, ensuring contact with all tooth surfaces. When you use fluoride mouthwash regularly, it can provide an extra layer of protection against cavities.

Systemic Fluoride Treatment

Systemic fluoride treatments are another effective method of strengthening teeth & preventing tooth decay. Fluoridated water, fluoride supplements, or fluoride-fortified foods are some of the common types of systemic fluoride treatments.
