Fluoride Treatments in Santa Ana, CA
What Is a Fluoride Treatment?
Often a component in most standard oral health regimens, fluoride is a beneficial substance found in certain foods and beverages. However, fluoride could also be painted onto the teeth to produce numerous oral benefits. Fluoride can fight off enamel erosion by allowing the enamel to become more resilient to plaque. It will also improve the tooth's framework to reduce the first signs of cavities. Communities that put fluoride in drinking systems usually have fewer cases of cavities among their citizens. The advantages of fluoride are recognized by the ADA (American Dental Association) and additional important associations. At South Coast Pediatric Dentistry, we are thrilled to provide professional fluoride services for patients of all ages. To learn more about how fluoride could improve your children's oral health, call for a consultation with Dr. Kent N. Do in Santa Ana, CA.
What Should My Child Expect With Fluoride Treatments?
South Coast Pediatric Dentistry uses various fluoride types and flavors to ensure that these treatments are comfortable for everyone. Fluoride services are often carried out biannually immediately following a professional cleaning and exam. As soon as the fluoride flavor is chosen, our team will prepare the application as a varnish, foam, gel, or liquid. The treatment will then be kept on the teeth for 1 – 4 minutes, depending on the solution, to allow the treatment enough time to soak into the teeth. Your child may have to wait at least 30 minutes before snacking or drinking beverages to attain optimal benefits from their fluoride treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride treatments at South Coast Pediatric Dentistry provide a variety of benefits for dental health, allowing for a helpful supplement to standard oral treatment. Some of these advantages include:
- Suitable for everyone: Good for patients of all ages, from kids to adults.
- Can help reduce sensitive teeth: Fluoride treatment can minimize tooth sensitivity, which is typically provoked by exposed dentin or gum recession.
- Cavity prevention: Fluoride can help make teeth more resistant to decay and cavities.
- Stronger tooth enamel: It may help fix damaged enamel and prevent more deterioration.
- Boosts long-term oral health: Fluoride treatment works alongside regular brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings to sustain excellent oral wellness and prevent oral issues.
