Fluoride is a natural mineral that plays a crucial role in preventing dental caries (tooth decay) and strengthening tooth enamel. At Dieterlen Dental in Tulsa, OK, we offer professional fluoride therapy as part of our comprehensive preventive dental care services.
Fluoride is a mineral found in various foods, water, and oral care products. It helps remineralize tooth enamel (the outer protective layer of your teeth) and makes it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugary foods and drinks.
Fluoride treatments are professional applications of concentrated fluoride to your teeth, usually in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish. This helps strengthen teeth and prevent cavities by making enamel more resistant to acid and bacteria.
Fluoride treatments are highly effective in preventing cavities, especially in children and individuals with a high risk of tooth decay
Fluoride helps remineralize weakened enamel, reversing early signs of decay and strengthening your teeth.
Fluoride treatments can help reduce tooth sensitivity by strengthening the enamel and protecting exposed dentin.
Fluoride treatments are beneficial for patients of all ages, especially:
Children are particularly vulnerable to cavities, making fluoride supplements and professional treatments an essential part of their preventive dental care.
Individuals with dry mouth (xerostomia) have reduced saliva flow, which naturally protects teeth. Fluoride treatments can help compensate for this lack of protection.
Gum disease can expose tooth roots, making them more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatments can help protect these areas.
The frequency of fluoride treatments depends on your individual risk of tooth decay. We generally recommend fluoride treatments every 3, 6, or 12 months, depending on your oral health needs.
