Fluoride Treatment
Enamel, the protective outer layer of your teeth, can weaken over time and make your smile more susceptible to damage. To fortify your teeth's defenses, Peerzada Smiles offers specialized fluoride treatments.
Whether you're a parent looking out for your child's dental health or an adult aiming to enhance your own oral resilience, our preventive and restorative procedures can help.
What is a Fluoride Treatment?
A fluoride treatment is a procedure where a dentist applies a concentrated fluoride solution to your teeth using a brush, tray, or swab. After that, you'll need to avoid food and drinks for a short period of time to allow the fluoride to work.
How Does Fluoride Prevent Tooth Decay?
Fluoride works by remineralizing and fortifying your tooth enamel. Enamel is susceptible to damage from acid-producing bacteria in your mouth and the sugars you consume. When acids attack your teeth, they weaken the enamel and make it vulnerable to cavities.
Fluoride attracts calcium and phosphate ions, making enamel stronger and more resilient against acid attacks. In simpler terms, fluoride acts as a shield, helping to keep your teeth less prone to decay.
How Often Should I Get a Fluoride Treatment?
Your dentist will assess your needs and recommend a suitable schedule, which can range from every three, six, or twelve months. You also need to schedule regular appointments to ensure your teeth receive the right level of protection against cavities.
Is There an Age Limit for Fluoride Treatments?
Absolutely not! Fluoride treatments help individuals of all ages, from young kids to seniors. Children, in particular, can greatly benefit from fluoride to strengthen their developing teeth.
At Peerzada Smiles, we customize treatments to suit the unique needs of each patient, regardless of their age.
Care Tips After a Fluoride Treatment
After your fluoride treatment at Peerzada Smiles, we recommend a few simple care tips:
- Avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes to let fluoride penetrate your teeth.
- Maintain your regular oral hygiene routine, including brushing and flossing.
- Continue using fluoride toothpaste for daily protection between appointments.
