Fluoride Treatment for Stronger, Healthier Teeth

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that plays a crucial role in maintaining dental health. It helps to remineralize tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth. At Cornerstone Dental, our professional fluoride treatments offer enhanced protection against cavities and decay.

The Benefits of Fluoride Treatment

• Prevents Tooth Decay: Fluoride helps to prevent the formation of cavities by strengthening tooth enamel.
• Remineralizes Enamel: It aids in the repair of early stages of tooth decay before it becomes visible or more serious.
• Safe and Effective: Professional fluoride treatments are safe for patients of all ages and provide long-lasting benefits.

Who Can Benefit from Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride treatments are beneficial for both children and adults. They are especially recommended for individuals who are at a higher risk of developing cavities, including those with:

• Poor Oral Hygiene: Struggles with maintaining regular brushing and flossing habits.
• Diet High in Sugars and Carbohydrates: Frequent consumption of sugary or starchy foods and drinks.
• Dry Mouth Conditions: Reduced saliva flow, which can increase the risk of tooth decay.
• Previous Dental Work: Existing fillings, crowns, or bridges that make certain areas of the mouth harder to clean.

The Fluoride Treatment Process

The fluoride treatment process at Cornerstone Dental is quick, painless, and highly effective:

• Application: Fluoride can be applied in various forms, including gel, foam, or varnish, directly to your teeth.
• Exposure Time: The fluoride is left on your teeth for a few minutes to ensure maximum absorption.
• Post-Treatment Instructions: We may provide specific instructions, such as avoiding eating or drinking for a short period after the treatment to allow the fluoride to fully penetrate the enamel.

Maintaining Optimal Oral Health

In addition to professional fluoride treatments, maintaining good oral hygiene at home is essential. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting Cornerstone Dental regularly for check-ups and cleanings will help keep your teeth strong and healthy.
