Fluoride varnish strengthens your teeth and helps protect them from decay. For best results, we recommend applying fluoride after your professional dental cleaning twice a year.
Fluoride helps remineralize your teeth and makes them more resistant to decay and acidic bacteria. This is especially important for people who are at a higher risk of developing cavities, such as children and older adults.
If you’ve ever seen white spots on teeth, these are areas of enamel demineralization and the beginning of a cavity. Applying fluoride to these surfaces can counteract the demineralization and essentially reverse the decay process.
In addition to its cavity-fighting properties, fluoride can also help to reduce tooth sensitivity and remineralize areas with weak enamel before physical cavities form. That’s why fluoride is especially helpful during orthodontic treatments and if you have gum recession.
Gum recession occurs when the gums pull away from the teeth, exposing the sensitive tooth roots. This can make your teeth more susceptible to decay and can also cause discomfort. Fluoride strengthens those surfaces to reduce your risk of ongoing oral health concerns.
At Hyde Park Dentistry, we believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality dental care and preventative strategies. That's why we offer a membership plan that includes a number of included preventive services, such as fluoride treatments. Our membership plan also includes discounts on other treatments, making it easy and affordable to get the care you need.
