No one wants to go to the dentist only to learn that they have cavities. Preventing them relies heavily on proper brushing and flossing at home, but fluoride treatments are also available to help provide extra protection against tooth decay.
Fluoride treatments are especially beneficial for children, whose teeth are still forming and who may not have established good brushing habits. These treatments are safe, will only take a short time, and will help their teeth to be stronger and more decay-resistant.
Our teeth go through regular periods of demineralization and remineralization throughout the day, during the very early stages of tooth decay when it is still reversible. Fluoride can help with this remineralization, making the surface of the tooth more resistant to decay than it was before.
Fluoride treatments are especially beneficial for children, whose teeth are still forming and who may not have established good brushing habits, and who aren’t able to use toothpaste with fluoride yet. These treatments are safe, will only take a short time, and will help their teeth to be stronger and more decay-resistant.
Fluoride treatments can work for adults as well, as they can help to replenish calcium and phosphate that have been lost from the very early stages of decay.
“Great office and staff! We switched from a pediatrician dentist to Ryan Kinn after recommendations. You can get in next day if there is an issue most of the time. They are good with 6-11 year olds. That is how old my kiddos have been. One of my kids had dental anxiety and after a few appointments and having me not going back with him has helped immensely. They have a huge salt water fish tank to help with anxiety. Coffee and water is also offered. We drive a half hour to come to this office!”
