Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride treatment is a quick and simple process administered by our dentists to help prevent tooth decay and keep your children’s teeth for life

Fluoride is natural mineral found in the food and water we consume which helps strengthen and protect tooth enamel, making the tooth more resistant to acid wear and attacks from plaque and sugars.

When plaque and sugar attack the enamel of your child’s teeth this can cause demineralization, as tooth enamel contains mineral crystals. This causes the tooth’s surface enamel to weaken, allowing bacteria to erode your child’s teeth, causing cavities and dental caries.

However, minerals such as fluoride, phosphate and calcium from the food and water we consume and the toothpaste we use can help strengthen the enamel which helps to reverse the effects of demineralization. Naturally, this process is called remineralization, and fluoride is one of the most effective methods for speeding up this process.

Fluoride treatments are offered to children and even adults to help reduce the risk of developing cavities. To learn more please continue reading below:
