How Fluoride Works Wonders
Think of fluoride as a shield for your teeth. It is a naturally occurring mineral that plays a critical role in oral health. While you might get some fluoride from your toothpaste or tap water, a professional application provides a much higher concentration for maximum protection.
When applied by Dr. Hana, fluoride works to:
- Remineralize Enamel: It puts minerals back into tooth surfaces that have been weakened by acid.
- Prevent Cavities: It disrupts the production of acid by bacteria, stopping decay before it starts.
- Reverse Early Decay: In some cases, fluoride can stop a small cavity from forming fully, saving you from needing a filling.
Not Just for Kids: Why Adults Need Fluoride Too
There is a common misconception that fluoride is only for children. While it is crucial for growing teeth, adult teeth benefit significantly as well. As we age, our gums may recede, exposing sensitive roots, or we may have existing dental work like crowns and bridges that can harbor bacteria.
Dr. Hana recommends fluoride treatments for adults who experience:
- Dry Mouth (Xerostomia): A lack of saliva reduces your natural ability to wash away acid and food particles.
- Gum Recession: Exposed roots are softer and more prone to rapid decay.
- History of Frequent Cavities: If you seem to get a new cavity every year, fluoride can break the cycle.
- Deep Pits and Grooves: Some teeth naturally trap bacteria more easily than others.
By choosing to strengthen tooth enamel through professional treatment, you are investing in the longevity of your natural smile.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
We know your time is valuable. One of the best things about fluoride treatment is how fast and seamless it is. Dr. Hana or our hygienist typically applies the treatment immediately following your professional cleaning.
- Quick Application: The fluoride is painted onto your teeth as a varnish, foam, or gel. The process takes just a few minutes.
- Immediate Protection: The varnish adheres quickly, allowing you to leave the office without a long wait time.
- Minimal Restrictions: You can usually eat and drink shortly after, though we may advise avoiding hot liquids or crunchy foods for a few hours to let the fluoride fully absorb.
