What Are Fluoride Treatments?

Fluoride treatments are preventive dental care procedures that help strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. The benefits of fluoride are well-established in promoting dental hygiene and fighting tooth decay. At Namou Dental Care Clinic, we apply high-quality fluoride varnish that adheres quickly to teeth, providing lasting protection against acid attacks from bacteria and sugars.

Implications of Fluctuation with Fluoride

Without adequate fluoride, teeth can become more susceptible to decay, leading to dental caries (cavities) and even tooth loss. Bacteria in the mouth feed on sugars and produce acid that erodes tooth enamel, causing demineralization. Regular fluoride treatments are essential for children whose teeth are developing, as well as adults who are at risk for tooth decay. Fluoride helps to remineralize weakened enamel and prevent early childhood caries.

Why You Really Need Fluoride Treatments

Cavity Prevention: Fluoride is a natural fighter against cavities. It helps to stop tooth decay by strengthening the enamel and making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars.
Enamel Strength: Fluoride helps harden the tooth enamel, making it stronger and more resistant to decay. It works by integrating into the enamel’s crystalline structure during tooth development and through topical application later in life.
Cost-Effective: Preventing decay reduces the need for fillings, crowns, and other costly dental treatments. Fluoride treatments are an affordable way to maintain good oral health and avoid more expensive procedures down the line.

Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste to fight plaque bacteria and prevent enamel erosion. Look for toothpastes with higher fluoride concentration for maximum cavity protection.
Use a fluoride mouthrinse or gel as directed to supplement your brushing routine. These products coat the teeth with a thin layer of fluoride to prevent bacterial growth.
Drink fluoridated water to get a steady supply of systemic fluoride. Most public water systems add fluoride, but you can also get fluoride supplements if needed.
Limit sugar consumption and maintain a healthy diet low in acids and starches. Bacteria feed on these compounds to produce cavity-causing acids.

While fluoride is generally safe and effective, it’s important not to swallow toothpaste or mouthwash, as ingesting too much can lead to dental fluorosis in children. Be sure to use age-appropriate products and follow directions carefully.

In addition to professional fluoride treatment at the dentist, there are several ways to get the benefits of fluoride at home:
