Why is Fluoride Treatment important?
Every day your teeth lose some of their protective minerals. When you consume acidic foods or drinks, such as sodas, and fail to keep up with your daily oral hygiene, tooth enamel can become damaged. Strengthening teeth and reversing this damage is achieved by fluoride treatment.
Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by making the tooth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth. It also reverses early decay. In children under six years of age, fluoride becomes incorporated into the development of permanent teeth and for adults, it helps decrease sensitivity.
