Reducing Cavities in Kids and Adults
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fight cavities.
In very early stages, before decay can even be seen, fluoride helps
to repair it. It helps your teeth resist the acid that leads to
decay. So in addition to recommending use of fluoride toothpaste in
your daily care, we offer application of a fluoride varnish or gel
to help combat cavities. This is a painless procedure that takes
only a few minutes and can have long-lasting results!
The
Importance of Hygiene Visits
We want you to know how important it is to have your teeth cleaned
on a regular basis by our professional hygienist. Once plaque and
tartar harden on the surface of your teeth, tooth brushing will not
remove it. If tartar settles in below your gumline, you risk the
chance of developing gum disease. Recent medical research has
identified a link between advanced gum disease and life-threatening
conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. We want you to
have good overall health, so please take our recommendation
seriously!
