Why Fluoride Matters for Oral Health
At Marinaside Dental, we often recommend fluoride as part of our preventive dental care services. But what is fluoride, and why is it so important? Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. As a trusted Yaletown dentist, we aim to help you understand how this simple treatment can make a big difference.
How Fluoride Works
Fluoride remineralizes weakened enamel and helps reverse early signs of tooth decay. It also makes teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth. This is especially important for children but beneficial for adults, too.
Fluoride Treatments at Your Dental Visit
During your dental check-up in Yaletown, we may apply a fluoride varnish or gel to give your teeth an added layer of protection. These treatments are quick, painless, and highly effective.
Everyday Fluoride Use
In addition to professional treatments, we recommend using fluoridated toothpaste and drinking tap water where fluoride is added. Our team at Marinaside Dental can guide you on safe, effective fluoride use at home.
