Dental Fluoride Treatment - My Scottsdale Dentist

My Scottsdale Dentist09 Oct, 2023Health

Fluoride is the most effective agent available to help prevent tooth decay It is a mineral that is naturally present in varying amounts in almost all foods and water supplies Topical fluoride strengthens the teeth once they have erupted by seeping into the outer surface of the tooth enamel, making the teeth more resistant to decay. We gain topical fluoride by using fluoride-containing dental products such as toothpaste, mouth rinses, and gels. Dr. Poulos and My Scottsdale Dentist recommend that children have a professional application of fluoride twice a year during dental check-ups.
