Fluoride Treatment in San Marcos, CA
Although somewhat harmful in large doses, fluoride is great at preventing cavities when used frequently and in small amounts. Fluoride prevents decay by remineralizing teeth and disrupting the oral bacteria’s ability to produce acids and therefore makes a tooth more cavity resistant. Fluoride is an element that occurs naturally in water and is found in many foods, as well as dental products such as toothpaste, mouth rinses, gels, foams and supplements. With a healthy diet and good oral hygiene, fluoride treatment can be very effective at preventing cavities and stopping small cavities in the enamel from progressing.
