Fluoride is a mineral well known for its ability to build strong teeth and prevent cavities. It helps fight the bacteria that damage teeth and gums and strengthens the enamel, the outer protective layer of teeth. If you fall in the high risk category of developing cavities and other dental caries, fluoride treatment might be helpful for you. Cavities occur as a result of the build-up of bacteria on teeth giving rise to a sticky plaque layer, which secretes acids to damage the teeth and gums. If the enamel layer has been damaged due to plaque, it can lead to infections of the nerves and blood vessels at the tooth core.

Fluoride treatments deliver a much higher level of fluoride than what is present in traditional toothpaste. After the treatment, you will be informed to avoid drinking or eating for a while to allow the fluoride to absorb fully.

  • Fluoride treatments prevent the erosion of tooth enamel by bacteria by restoring the minerals. It also tends to destroy harmful bacteria in the oral cavity and prevent cavities.
