If you’re predisposed to developing cavities, you are likely a candidate for fluoride treatment. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified tooth decay as a chronic disease afflicting children.
Firlik Family Dentistry offers fluoride treatment as one method to protect your smile. Dr. Firlik can apply a fluoride treatment in the office and recommend a fluoridated mouth rinse or toothpaste to use at home. In-Office Fluoride Treatment: When applied, fluoride treatment will help protect the dentin layer of your teeth. Dentin is a sensitive layer beneath the outer hard white layer of teeth. By setting up a fluoride appointment with Dr. Firlik, you will have a topical fluoride varnish applied to the surface of your teeth. This will strengthen tooth enamel and protect teeth from plaque that causes cavities. The fluoride concentration we use is much higher than you will find from over the counter. At Home Fluoride Treatment: There are prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste brands and mouth rinses. Dr. Firlik can recommend one, depending on your particular oral health needs, as the best solution for you. Patients should know that consuming an excess of fluoride can sometimes cause spots or streaks on the surface of teeth. This is known as (fluorosis). If you already are using fluoride products, please let us know which products you are using so we can monitor their use. The treatments and cost for fillings, dental crowns, tooth restorations, etc. can be expensive. To avoid unnecessary expense, we offer fluoride treatment as one of the simplest forms of preventive dentistry there is. Our team offers fluoride treatment and other aspects of preventive dentistry to help protect your oral health. To request an appointment, call Firlik Family Dentistry at (616) 361-0603. |
