Fluoride is found naturally in water and many foods. Even though you receive some fluoride through the foods you eat and from using fluoridated toothpaste, Dr. Nguyen, may recommend fluoride treatment to help prevent cavities and strengthen your teeth.
Fluoride treatment helps strengthen your teeth and protect them from cavities. Throughout the day, bacteria, acids and sugars attack and demineralize the enamel of the teeth. Fluoride remineralizes the enamel, thus strengthening the teeth against decay. Fluoride treatment can also strengthen developing teeth. Because of this, fluoride is very important for children whose teeth are growing in.
Dr. Nguyen, may suggest fluoride treatment during your regular cleaning and exam checkup. Professional fluoride is available in a gel, varnish or foam form. Further fluoride treatment may be recommended if your teeth are prone to cavities or if you are not getting enough fluoride from other sources.
