Fluoride is an agent used to help prevent tooth decay. This substance is a natural mineral that is part of most food and water supplies. For 50 years the use of fluoride has been supported by health care professionals.
Our Dental Professionals may recommend fluoride treatments for the following:​
  • Deep grooves as well as pits on top surfaces of teeth
  • Roots are sensitive and exposed
  • Oral hygiene that is poor or needs to be improved
  • Increased sugar or carbohydrates intake
  • Limited exposure to fluoride
  • Medications and Medical treatments that may limit saliva flow
Fluoride
Fluoride can help prevent tooth decay, but it will not keep a smile healthy and hygienic by itself. Preventing tooth decay requires many different components including eating balanced meals, reduction in sugary snacks, brushing and flossing regularly, and visiting your dentist every 6 months for check ups and cleanings. 
Sealants
When there is deep grooves in the surface of premolars and molars, our team may apply a thin plastic coating, otherwise known as a sealant. 75% of dental decay is attributed to these deep grooves in your teeth. The appearance of deep grooves in your teeth make the teeth themselves more susceptible to decay because of the difficulty in cleaning these areas. The sealant can help create an easy surface to clean and can cover the grooves.​​
  • Baby Teeth- If the child is prone to cavities this is occasionally done if the teeth also have deep grooves
  • Children and Teenagers- Children ages 6-16 have extremely cavity prone teeth as well as the permanent back teeth
  • Adults- Teeth that already have deep grooves and depressions without decay
