Contact UsWhat Is A Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a beneficial mineral present in many different foods and liquids. However, it is often painted topically onto the enamel to produce several dental benefits. Fluoride may protect against enamel erosion by promoting resistance to buildup. Fluoride can also strengthen the tooth's framework to help reduce the onset of cavities. Communities that add fluoride to drinking water commonly notice fewer cases of cavities in their general populations. The perks of fluoride have been well-documented by the American Dental Association (ADA) and other important associations. The Dentist of Allen proudly offers regular fluoride services for people of all ages. To find out more about how fluoride can help your dental health, get in touch with our team in Allen, TX.
What Should I Expect from Fluoride Treatments?
The Dentist of Allen offers different fluoride options and flavors to make these treatments easy for all patients. Fluoride services are commonly recommended every six months following a thorough cleaning and dental exam. After you choose a flavor, our team will apply the fluoride as a foam, gel, varnish, or liquid. The fluoride remains on the enamel for a few minutes (depending on the type) to give it time to absorb into your teeth. To get the best results from the treatment, you may have to wait for at least a half-hour before eating or drinking.
You may experience some queasiness if you swallow any fluoride, but this should dissipate in about a day. In some situations, we might give you fluoride supplements or medical-grade fluoridated toothpaste to raise your fluoride intake. Parents should be careful to keep fluoride toothpaste and rinses away from kids, as it can be harmful if ingested in high quantities. Fluoride treatments can protect your teeth, but it's still important to clean the teeth with fluoridated products every day. We advise you to attend routine dental evaluations and cleanings at The Dentist of Allen to maintain your overall oral health.
Fluoride Treatment Reviews
I have been to several dentists in my lifetime. And, about 2 years ago, I met a beautiful girl who worked at Neiman Marcus and I had to ask her about her teeth. She told me about Dr.Kim, and I immediately made an appointment.When you walk into that wonderful building, you think to yourself, "Yup. This is one of those narcissistic fee-for-service-physicians that don’t take insurance..." WRONG they take insurance, and do a wonderful job. I swear I suffer from panic attacks whenever I visit the dentist, but there is some sort of way that Dr.Kim maneuvers the needle, that you never feel it. He is quick, and he does not dance around to other patients due to being overbooked like I have seen other dentists. He gives you total, and complete undivided attention. Not only is he fast, but he does WONDERFUL work. I cannot possibly tell you how pleased I am with the entire office, and especially the work of Dr. Kim. I would also like to mention that I am not a fan of fluoride, and although they do not agree with my perspective, they took measure to order special non-fluorinated cleaning paste for my daughter and me.Thank you for your wonderful service Dr. Kim and your team.Lifetime patient.
