Fluoride Treatments at Bishop Ranch Dentistry
At Bishop Ranch Dentistry, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy smile. One of the key strategies we utilize to protect your teeth from decay is fluoride treatment.
Fluoride is a natural mineral found in the earth's crust and widely distributed in nature. Some foods and water supplies even contain fluoride. Fluoride treatments in dentistry are essential because they help replenish the minerals in your tooth enamel to prevent cavities and tooth decay.
Our professional fluoride treatments contain a higher concentration of fluoride than the amount found in toothpastes or mouth rinses. These treatments take only a few minutes and are applied in the form of a solution, gel, foam, or varnish. Once the treatment is complete, it's recommended that patients not rinse, eat, or drink for at least 30 minutes to allow the teeth to absorb the fluoride and repair microscopic cavities.
Regular fluoride treatments are just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to maintaining your oral health. In conjunction with these treatments, regular cleanings, a good oral home care routine, and a balanced diet will keep your smile shining bright. At Bishop Ranch Dentistry, we're dedicated to helping you achieve optimal oral health. Schedule your fluoride treatment with us today!
