Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is important for protecting teeth and keeping them healthy. Preventing cavities, fluoride will help prevent dental stains. Strengthening tooth enamel, a small amount of fluoride is included in the tap water of most cities. However, the most effective fluoride treatment is provided by our dentists.

Treatment for All Ages

Even though they are commonly applied during early childhood, it’s wise to have the treatments supplemented over the years to maintain the protective benefits. From young children to adults, we make sure that all of your family members receive the dental protection that they need.

Natural Protection

Bacteria in the mouth mixed with sugar in food and forms an acid. This acid is what erodes tooth enamel and gradually leads to cavities. The good news is that fluoride protects your teeth from cavities by strengthening the enamel. In addition to preventing damage, it can also accumulate in areas that have already been harmed and start to reverse the existing damage.

Fast Absorption with Fluoride Treatment

While consuming fluoride will help your teeth, direct topical applications are actually the most effective. The teeth readily absorb direct treatments to start protecting teeth immediately. These topical treatments also create long-lasting protection for the most benefit.

Easy Application

Adults may remember the fluoride applications of their childhood that involved a small try of fluoride and a foul taste. However our fluoride treatment in Pleasanton is a little different. Fluoride can be painted on the teeth now for an easy application that most children tolerate. The varnish is particularly effective on the tops of molars where deep crevices catch food and create a high risk of developing cavities.

Fluoride for Children

While fluoride treatments can benefit people of all ages, they are most important for children between the ages of six months and 16 years of age. This is a critical time for growing bodies and the adult teeth that are still new. Investing in fluoride applications will protect your child’s teeth now and help them remain healthy throughout their lives.

There are several benefits to investing in fluoride applications. Strengthening enamel and preventing damage, teeth that are treated with fluoride are not as prone to staining, decay or cavities. It’s the first step towards healthy teeth that last a lifetime. With new technology and delivery systems, you and your children can benefit from fluoride treatments available from Gateway Dental Care.
