Dental Fluoride Treatment

Dental Fluoride Treatment from Affordable Family Dentistry

Bothell Flouride-Every day, your teeth go through a loss and gain of essential minerals to keep them healthy and strong. Several of the vital core minerals include calcium, phosphate, and fluoride. When too much mineral loss occurs, the teeth become weak and more prone to breaking and decay. Fortunately, however, Affordable Family Dentistry is available to provide its Bothell dental patients with one of the vital fluoride treatment processes that boost the layer of enamel that protects again tooth breakdown. This process is known as demineralization and remineralization.

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in much of your daily food and water intake and is one of the most critical factors in maximizing tooth health. The overall health of your mouth can be improved with a few simple fluoride treatments.

When you need to contact a dentist for Dental Fluoride Treatment in Bothell WA

During the dental exam and cleaning process, we will let you know if fluoride is needed. Also, you may contact us at Affordable Family Dentistry to discuss dental fluoride treatment if you have any of the following symptoms:

Constant Dry Mouth – A wide range of conditions can cause this. It may be caused by xerostomia or can be caused by reactions to medications or medical treatments. The lack of saliva makes teeth more vulnerable to food particles and acid exposure. Dental Fluoride can help neutralize this exposure.
Frequent Cavities – Someone that gets cavities regularly (every year) may need to increase dental fluoride to help fight tooth decay.
Gum Sensitivity – This is a precursor to gingivitis, a gum disease that exposes tooth roots to bacteria and increases the chances of decay.

There are several ways to increase the dental fluoride level for your teeth:

Rinses – Mouthwash and toothpaste sold at local stores contain fluoride, although low.
Topical Application – A dentist can use fluoride in a higher concentration than you find in mouthwash or toothpaste, and it can be “painted” directly on the teeth with a gel, foam, or varnish.
Dental Prescription – Your dentist may decide you need to take a liquid or tablet form of fluoride and must be obtained with a prescription.

Bothell dental patients can easily make an appointment with Affordable Family Dentistry to receive fluoride dental treatments; the only recommendation is no food or beverage for 30 minutes before the meeting so that the teeth will absorb the fluoride properly. Depending on each situation, we may recommend fluoride treatments at 3, 6, 9, or 12-month intervals.
