Fluoride Treatments To Protect Teeth

In South Berwick and serving Eliot, ME, consider family dentistry where Dr. Robert Orendorf with South Berwick Dental, can provide the most suitable fluoride treatment for your teeth.

What is fluoride?

Fluoride is a naturally sourced mineral, commonly found in the air, rocks, water, and soil; it can even be found in your bones and teeth. Fluoride treatment enables the body to absorb minerals, like calcium and phosphate, to promote strengthening the tooth enamel.

Professional fluoride treatments are used to strengthen the enamel on the surface of your teeth, also fighting harmful bacteria in the mouth. Your South Berwick, and serving Eliot, ME, dentist, Dr. Orendorf encourages the extension of family dentistry in your home by using toothpaste or mouth rinses that include fluoride.

Are there any benefits of fluoride treatments?

Yes, there are several advantages to receiving a professional fluoride treatment, as well as using products at home with fluoride. By having you and your whole family receive fluoride treatments, you can take comfort in knowing that fluoride:

  • Fights against, and can even reverse signs of tooth decay
  • Rebuilds any lost tooth enamel, as well as reducing potential loss
  • Will prevent buildup from destructive bacteria in the mouth

According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fluoridated water has reduced tooth decay by twenty-five percent. Since tooth decay can occur in both adults and children, you can find comfort knowing that with fluoride treatments, your teeth are being protected.
