Fluoride Treatments

Flouride treatments are a great way to improve your oral health. While they do have some side effects, they can be beneficial for people who have not taken good care of their teeth in the past or who need help improving their smiles. 

What Are Flouride Treatments?

A Flouride treatment is a process that involves many steps. First, our Northridge dentist will clean your teeth and use special toothpaste to strengthen your enamel. Then, he will place fluoride gel on each tooth and let it set for about an hour before rinsing it off. This gel can then be reapplied every three months until you reach adulthood (or until you stop drinking water).

As far as risks go, there are a few risks associated with this procedure—just make sure to tell your dentist if you have any allergies! But aside from that, there’s not much else to worry about. As long as you brush twice daily and floss regularly (yes even in between meals!), you should be fine!

 Benefits of Flouride Treatments

The benefits of fluoride treatments are numerous and include:

Preventing tooth decay by strengthening teeth.

Helping to prevent cavities by preventing plaque buildup.

Helping to prevent gum disease by killing harmful bacteria that cause it.

Helps to prevent tooth sensitivity, bad breath, and other oral health issues caused by bacteria on your teeth.

Who is a good candidate for Flouride Treatments?

If you are considering a fluoride treatment for your teeth, there are several things to consider. The first and most important is whether or not it will work for you. Generally, the only way to determine if a fluoride treatment will be effective is by examining with your dentist. After this, they can determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure and give advice on how much time/money should be invested in it.

Another thing to keep in mind is that not all dentists offer these services; so make sure that yours does before making any appointments or scheduling procedures with them.

People who are good candidates for having a fluoride treatment include * people with teeth that are sensitive to cold or hot temperatures; * people who grind their teeth at night; * people who have a lot of cavities; and/or * people who want whiter teeth. In addition, if there is decay on the front surface of your tooth, it may be possible for us to remove some of the decayed material before placing an application.

Flouride Treatments are a great way to keep your teeth healthy. They can also help you to maintain a healthy diet by removing plaque and tartar from your teeth. The dentist may recommend fluoride treatments for different reasons, so if you think you may need one then call us today!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental veneers last?

Dental veneers can last 10 to 15 years or even longer with proper care and maintenance. Caring for your veneers should include daily brushing, flossing, rinsing the mouth after meals, minimizing your intake of sugary foods and beverages and tobacco products, and visiting your dentist for routine dental visits. 

Are veneers reversible?

The tooth preparation process is irreversible, as your dentist will remove a small amount of enamel to create room for the veneers. However, they can be replaced or updated. Routinely visiting your dentist can help extend their lifespan and allow you to ask any questions about updating your treatment as needed. 

Are dental veneers painful to get?

The veneer procedure is usually painless and is performed with patients under dental sedation or a local anesthetic to ensure their comfort. Afterward, you may feel slight soreness or increased sensitivity, but this will subside as your mouth becomes accustomed to your tooth veneers. You can also manage this with over-the-counter pain management medications. 

Can I eat normally with dental veneers?

Yes, you can eat your favorite foods with dental veneers. However, avoid biting into hard objects to prevent damage. You should also maintain a healthy diet and visit your dentist regularly for suggestions about keeping your porcelain veneers looking and feeling perfect.
