FLUORIDE TREATMENTS IN HONOLULU

benefits from a fluoride treatment

Dental fluoride may be one of the easiest and safest ways to protect our teeth from developing cavities. Fluoride has several benefits to our oral health because it helps strengthen tooth enamel and remineralize tooth structure to prevent the development of cavities. Many of us are more prone to cavities if we have poor oral hygiene, a high sugar diet or medications that make our teeth susceptible to breaking down. A fluoride treatment is a quick and simple procedure that involves the application of fluoride in the form of a varnish, gel, or foam. It is applied directly into the tooth to form a protective later. You may be asked to avoid hot foods or rinsing for a short period of time, but you will have helped restore your teeth to optimal health!
