If you’re concerned about your oral health, and want to do more in order to ensure that your teeth stay as healthy as possible, then our practice recommends you strongly consider fluoride treatment.
While there are many different opinions out there about fluoride, nearly every dentist in America recommends its use, and it’s endorsed by the American Dental Association. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the benefits of fluoride treatment.
Dr. Esperanza A. Rodriguez administers the fluoride treatment by pouring concentrated fluoride gel into trays that are placed in your mouth for a few minutes. Afterward, you should avoid eating or drinking to allow the fluoride to deeply penetrate into your tooth enamel.
Sometimes, Dr. Esperanza A. Rodriguez might also prescribe daily fluoride supplements.
In some cases, using fluoride toothpaste isn’t enough to prevent tooth decay and tooth-sensitivity issues. Be sure to let your dentist, Dr. Esperanza A. Rodriguez, know about any new cavities or tooth sensitivity you’ve noticed. Oftentimes, she will recommend a routine fluoride treatment to improve the strength of your tooth enamel. The treatment is fast and easy, and she can usually administer it immediately following your regular dental checkup.
It’s normal to have questions about fluoride. If you’re concerned at all about treatment, please don’t hesitate to ask us for answers to your questions.
