U & I Dental, PLLC Utilizes Fluoride Treatment to Protect Teeth in Concord, NH

Often called nature’s cavity fighter, fluoride is a naturally-occurring mineral that helps prevent cavities by making the enamel more resistant to the acid attacks that cause tooth decay. Fluoride also promotes remineralization (adding minerals such as calcium back in to your teeth), which aids in repairing early decay before a cavity (hole) forms in the tooth. Dentists at U & I Dental, PLLC use in-office fluoride treatments to help protect the oral health of children and adults, who may be at a higher risk for developing caries (cavities).

Fluoride can be obtained in two forms: topical and systemic. Topical fluoride is applied directly to and absorbed by the surface of the teeth. It is found in personal oral hygiene products such as toothpastes and mouth rinses, which contain a safe and effective concentration of fluoride to fight tooth decay. Systemic fluoride is taken into the body through consuming fluoridated water, fluoride supplements or foods and beverages. Once systemic fluoride is absorbed via the gastrointestinal tract, the blood distributes it throughout the entire body. Systemic fluoride is also found in saliva and it continually bathes the teeth, providing a topical application to protect teeth.

The fluoride preparation used in the dental office is a much stronger concentration than that in toothpastes or fluoride mouthrinses that may be available in a store or at a pharmacy. At U & I Dental, PLLC professional fluoride treatments take just a few minutes. The fluoride may be in the form of a solution, gel, foam or varnish. Typically, it is applied with a cotton swab or brush, or it is placed in a tray that is held in the mouth for several minutes. Depending on your oral health status, fluoride treatments may be recommended every three, six or twelve months.
