Strengthen Your Tooth Enamel With Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is an essential component of oral health. At Loganville Family Dentistry in Loganville, we are pleased to provide fluoride treatments to help keep your smile looking its best!

What is fluoride?

Fluoride is the negative ion of the element fluorine. It is a naturally occurring mineral found in water, food, soil, and even the air. It can help teeth resist mouth bacteria, making your teeth stronger and less prone to decay.

What does fluoride treatment involve?

Loganville Family Dentistry provides fluoride treatments as a varnish or foam. The treatment only takes a few minutes and is painless and non-invasive. During your appointment, we will carefully apply the fluoride to each tooth with a brush, swab, rinse, or a form-fitting tooth tray.

What are the benefits of fluoride treatments?

Fluoride is an integral part of preventive care and can even reverse the early stages of tooth decay. It’s used to remineralize teeth and rebuild lost tooth enamel, slow down the loss of minerals from teeth, reverse the early onset of tooth decay, and prevent the spread of oral bacteria.

Are fluoride treatments safe?

Yes! Fluoride is a naturally occurring substance that is safe for adults and children. Dental associations worldwide recognize it as an essential mineral for healthy teeth. It’s especially beneficial for kids to have fluoride, as it helps prevent the development of cavities.

Who should consider fluoride treatments?

Everyone can benefit from having professional fluoride treatments! People at an increased risk for tooth decay or gum disease, such as those with dry mouth, many fillings, braces, or who take certain medications, may require more frequent treatments.
