Dental Application of Fluoride
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps to maintain good dental health by repairing and maintaining tooth enamel. Consistent fluoride use is one of the most effective ways to prevent tooth decay. Fluoride is present in food and water, but it may not be sufficient to prevent tooth decay on its own.
Fluoride has long been considered a vital dental health treatment. Fluoride maintains healthy enamel, the tooth’s outermost layer of defense, and combats bacteria that damage teeth and gums. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to microorganisms, hence avoiding cavities and decay.
What is a Fluoride Treatment?
If you don’t practice good oral hygiene or get enough fluoride, a fluoride treatment can help strengthen your teeth and make them more resistant to decay. It involves the application of highly concentrated fluoride, which may be in the form of varnish, foam, gel, or rinse. The treatment may be applied during a routine dental check-up or in a separate appointment.
A fluoride treatment is a simple procedure that seeks to raise fluoride levels in your teeth, offering additional protection. It takes just a few minutes to apply. Following the treatment, you may be told not to eat or drink anything for 30 minutes to allow your teeth to properly absorb the fluoride.
Professional Fluoride Application in Houston, TX
Excessive fluoride exposure, like many drugs, can have negative side effects when taken for self-medication. You may be exposed to excessive fluoride by accident or by a prescription containing high levels. Even though fluoride poisoning is uncommon these days, prolonged excessive fluoride exposure can impair young children’s developing teeth and bones. Too much fluoride can result in:
- Pre-molars and molars with white streaks
- Tooth discoloration and pitting
- Issues with bone stability
- Strong but frail bones
Thus, it is advised to avoid self-medication and fluoride prescriptions from unlicensed dentists. We strongly advocate seeking professional fluoride treatment from licensed, knowledgeable dentists like Dr. Tatari and Dr. Ebrahimi of Muse Dental Studio. Depending on your current oral health, our office can offer you the right fluoride dosage.
