Fluoride Treatments for Stronger Teeth
Azure Dental in Marshfield offers professional fluoride treatments to prevent cavities and strengthen enamel. The mineral fluoride is critical in maintaining healthy teeth and preventing decay. It is well known that fluoride can greatly enhance dental health by strengthening tooth enamel, thereby making it more resistant to decay. This also reduces the amount of acid the bacteria produce on your teeth. When you incorporate fluoride into your dental care routine, you are investing in the health of your smile for the long term.
Prevent Cavities and Strengthen Enamel
Infants and children between the ages of 6 months and 16 years require a sufficient amount of fluoride. It is equally important to provide fluoride to developing teeth and those that have already erupted. The application of fluoride during a routine dental checkup for children is crucial for preventing tooth decay according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
A key function of fluoride is to prevent cavities by rebuilding the enamel and reversing the early signs of decay. This product promotes remineralization, enhancing teeth’ resistance to the acids plaque bacteria produce. Regular fluoride dental care is vital to avoid costly restorative treatments and ensure that teeth remain healthy and strong.
Strengthen Your Enamel for Long-Lasting Dental Health
The enamel on the surface of your teeth is your first line of defense against dental decay. Acidic foods, beverages, or poor oral hygiene may weaken enamel over time. Our fluoride treatments help to strengthen enamel, thereby increasing your teeth’s resistance to damage and decay. This preventive step will benefit Children and adults, ensuring long-lasting dental health.
What is Fluoride?
Fluoride is a form of the Natural element fluorine. This mineral occurs naturally and can be found in body tissues containing calcium, such as the bones and teeth.
Fluoride protects teeth from plaque-causing bacteria. In addition, it promotes the formation of new bones. This is different from most medicines used to treat weak bones (osteoporosis), which prevent bone deterioration.
A common use of fluoride is to prevent tooth decay. It is also used to treat a mild form of gum disease (gingivitis), osteoporosis, and many other conditions.
