At Little Mountain Dentistry, we embrace the power of prevention as the key to maintaining a healthy, radiant smile. One of the most effective tools in our preventive arsenal is fluoride treatment, a simple yet impactful process designed to fortify your teeth and fend off decay. Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, is vital for reinforcing tooth enamel and making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth.
Your fluoride treatment journey is seamless and comfortable from start to finish. During your appointment, after a thorough cleaning to remove any surface deposits, we apply a concentrated fluoride solution to your teeth in the form of a gel, foam or varnish. This solution is allowed to work its magic for several minutes, penetrating the enamel to rebuild weakened areas and help reverse early signs of decay.
Fluoride treatment at Little Mountain Dentistry comes with a host of benefits:
- Dramatically boosts the resilience of tooth enamel against decay
- Actively helps to remineralize and repair early decay lesions
- A quick, noninvasive treatment with no discomfort
- Offers lasting protection for teeth between dental visits
- An ideal preventive measure for patients of all ages, especially those at higher risk for dental caries
Fluoride treatment is more than just a preventive measure; it is a critical component of a holistic approach to oral health, ensuring that your teeth remain strong and healthy long-term.
