Your Oral Health Is Important. Let Us Help You Maintain A Healthy and Beautiful Smile.
Fluoride fulfills two important dental functions. First, it helps stop mineral loss from tooth enamel, and second, it promotes the remineralization of tooth enamel.
When carbohydrates or sugars are consumed, oral bacteria feed on them and produce harmful acids. These acids attack tooth enamel – especially in children who take medications or produce less saliva. Repeated acid attacks result in cavities, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. Fluoride protects tooth enamel from acid attacks and reduces the risk of tooth decay.
Fluoride is especially effective when used as part of a good oral hygiene regimen. Reducing the consumption of sugary foods, brushing and flossing regularly, and visiting the dentist biannually, all help keep teeth healthy.
