How Does Fluoride Help Against Tooth Decay?
You may have seen or heard advertisements of dental products highlighting the importance of fluoride for your teeth. The reason is that fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that can strengthen the tooth enamel and increase its resistance against cavities. Although it is added to public water sources, many people still don’t get enough fluoride for their oral health.
For this reason, our Houston, TX, dentists recommend fluoride treatment for both children and adults. It combines with the tooth enamel and creates a protective barrier against cavity-causing bacteria. This treatment can also help reduce tooth sensitivity, allowing you to eat and drink more comfortably.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Fluoride Treatments?
Children are typically more prone to cavities due to lack of oral care, sugar intake, and weaker enamel. To protect their teeth against decay, we recommend fluoride application from a young age. Children with newly erupted permanent teeth can benefit from this procedure as it helps protect their teeth from cavities and infection.
Apart from children, we also suggest this treatment for adults who are at a high risk of developing cavities. Our dental specialists will assess the health of your teeth to determine if you can benefit from professional fluoride treatments in Houston, TX.
What Happens During A Fluoride Treatment?
The application of fluoride is a completely non-invasive and painless procedure. Our dentists will start by cleaning the surfaces of your teeth and drying them. After this step, we will apply a special fluoride gel or varnish on your tooth surfaces. It is left on for a certain duration so that your enamel absorbs as much of the fluoride ions as possible.
The entire process of fluoride treatment takes a single short visit at our Houston practice. After the procedure, we suggest avoiding eating or drinking anything for about an hour. This treatment can be redone at the time of your annual checkups or as recommended by our dentists.
