Fluoride Treatments
Tooth decay is caused by acid-producing bacteria called plaque, which will collect around your teeth and gums.
Brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits are helpful to get rid of a lot of this plaque, but fluoride treatments help prevent plaque and can repair teeth in the earliest stages of tooth decay.
Below are some factors that increase your risk of tooth decay and increase the need for fluoride treatment:
-Poor oral hygiene
-Lack of regular professional dental care
-Active orthodontic treatments
-Exposed root surfaces of teeth
-Poor diet

"Like a lot of people I don't go to the doctor unless I'm sick, so for the dentist I wasn't doing regular visits and low and behold ended up with cavities. Dr. Tom was super nice and professional, no one in the office made me feel bad about my teeth, they just immediately moved on to the treatment steps. Got my cavities filled and all the jaw pain I had for months was gone by the time the numbing wore off. Super grateful for Dr. Tom and his wonderful staff. Also liked how modern their office was, I didn't realize how old school my old dentist was until I came here - the up to date technology made a big difference."
