Fluoride treatment
The benefits of fluoride to strengthen and protect teeth have long been known. Fluoride helps reduce tooth decay and as such, is added to the water supply of many cities and towns in an effort to improve the oral health of the population.

A dental fluoride treatment for you or especially for your children is one way to reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, it is a simple and pain free treatment and becoming more important, as many people are now choosing to drink bottled water, which contains minimal to no fluoride.

Once a tooth has developed, fluoride makes its structure more resistant to decay and helps replenish lost minerals, which aids in repairing early decay caused through acids and bacteria, even before the damage is visible. The application of fluoride gel placed in mouth trays and worn for up to five minutes every six months in conjunction with professional teeth cleaning by our hygienist will make your smile white, strong, clean and healthy.

Regular brushing of at least twice a day using fluoride toothpaste, flossing and rinsing with a mouthwash will keep your teeth in optimum health between appointments.

Although fluoride is good for your teeth and bones, excess fluoride can result in discoloration of your teeth, be sure you and your children do not to swallow toothpaste, mouthwash or overuse fluoride supplements.
