Dental Fluoride Treatments

Tooth decay, or cavities, used to be a certainty. But the arrival of fluoridated drinking water and toothpaste has changed that. Dental fluoride treatments can help significantly reduce the change of tooth decay and cavities.

What is Fluoride?

Fluoride is a natural mineral that safely strengthens tooth enamel (the hard outer "shell" of your tooth) and helps stop cavities from forming.

Fluoride can really help children dental care

Children can really benefit from fluoride. In fact, in communities where fluoride has been added to the drinking water, children have up to 50% fewer cavities!

If your child isn't getting enough fluoride from the drinking water, or they continue to get cavities, your dental professional may suggest a fluoride treatment.

Home Fluoride Rinses

Everyone over the age of six can benefit from a home fluoride rinse. Home fluoride rinses should be used regularly, home fluoride rinses have been proven to significantly reduce cavities up to 40 percent more than simply brushing alone.
