Fluoride is a mineral that is found naturally in many things we eat or drink. It is nature\u2019s way of helping to prevent cavities, and it plays an important role in helping to keep your teeth for a lifetime. Professional (in-office) fluoride treatments make teeth stronger and even reverse damage from decay in the outer layers of enamel on the smooth surfaces of the teeth. Additional home fluoride treatments assist in this process. In the lifelong fight against cavities, Dr. Obiokovitz and Dr. Tauschek believe that both adults and children benefit from in-office treatment and home fluorides.<\/p>\n
The benefits of fluoride include:<\/p>\n
\u25cf Strengthening teeth
\u25cf Remineralizing weakened areas on teeth
\u25cf Desensitizing teeth
\u25cf Expanding some antimicrobial effects
\u25cf Increasing salivary action
\u25cf Enhancing rate of natural remineralization<\/p>\n

Fluoride is a safe chemical component when used correctly. When your dentist applies fluoride to your teeth, usually in the form of a fluoride varnish, gel, or foam, that fluoride is more concentrated than the fluoride contained in toothpaste or mouthwash. The ADA recommends that dental professionals use professional strength, fluoride varnish, gel or foam products carrying the ADA Seal of Acceptance.
