Fluoride is a natural mineral that is typically found in many types of food and local water supplies. By strengthening our tooth enamel, fluoride is scientifically proven to help combat cavity growth and tooth decay. Many types of toothpaste contain small amounts of fluoride that are also helpful to your teeth when used on a daily basis. When normal exposure to fluoride does not prevent cavity growth or tooth decay, our Torrance fluoride treatment expert can administer a fluoride treatment during a routine dental checkup. This special treatment will have a stronger concentration of fluoride. This professional treatment is safe and very effective for improving the quality of your teeth.
Our expert in fluoride treatment in Torrance recommends fluoride treatment for:
• Sensitive Tooth Root or Exposed Root Surface
• Irregular Flow of Saliva or Dry Mouth
• Infrequent Oral Hygiene
• Deep Fissures or Pits on Teeth Surface
• History of Tooth Decay
• No Daily Fluoride Exposure
• Frequent Carbohydrate and Sugar Consumption
• Existing Dental Restorations
Fluoride therapy treatments are used by our Torrance fluoride treatment expert to help restore the lost minerals in your natural teeth due to plaque and bacteria. When harmful particles are not removed from your teeth, valuable minerals are lost in a process called demineralization. Fluoride has an opposite effect, as it serves to strengthen your teeth in a process called re-mineralization. Fluoride treatments are combined with good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and regular dental checkups in order to help strengthen teeth and avoid the tooth decay that leads to cavities.
