Fluoride is a mineral that is found naturally in many things we eat or drink. It is nature’s way of helping prevent cavities.
While we consume it daily, fluoride in our food or water is not as strong as direct fluoride application.
At Maplewood Dental, we can apply fluoride during your regular dental cleaning to provide additional tooth-strengthening benefits. Learn more about the benefits of fluoride treatment in Rehoboth Beach by contacting our dental team today.
What is Fluoride Treatment?
Professional strength (in-office fluorides) and low strength (home fluorides) each play important roles in helping to keep your teeth for a lifetime. Professional fluorides make teeth stronger and even heal weakened areas while at-home fluorides assist in this process. In the lifelong fight against cavities, both adults and children benefit from in-office treatment.
How Does Fluoride Improve Oral Health?
Research shows that fluoride reduces cavities in both children and adults by halting tooth decay. It also helps repair the early stages of tooth decay even before the decay becomes visible.
Most people don’t know the truth about fluoride and fluoridation. Fluoride is a safe chemical component when used correctly. When your dentist applies fluoride to your teeth (usually in the form of a fluoride varnish, gel, or foam) that fluoride is more concentrated than the fluoride contained in toothpaste or mouthwash.
The ADA recommends that dental professionals use any of the professional strength, fluoride varnish, gel, or foam products carrying the ADA Seal of Acceptance.
