Dental Fluoride Treatment in Surrey
Dental health is a lifelong journey, and preventive care is key to avoiding common dental problems. At Komal Jain Dentistry, we provide a wide range of treatments to protect your teeth, including professional fluoride treatments. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent tooth decay, making it an essential part of oral health care for patients of all ages.
What Is Fluoride?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in food, water, and dental products. When applied to teeth or ingested, fluoride helps:
Strengthen tooth enamel
Prevent demineralization caused by bacteria
Repair early signs of tooth decay
Reduce tooth sensitivity to hot and cold
Fluoride works differently depending on age. For children and adolescents, fluoride treatments help prevent cavities and support proper enamel development. In adults, fluoride can strengthen vulnerable areas of teeth and improve overall resistance to decay.
Types of Fluoride
There are two main ways fluoride benefits your teeth:
1. Systemic Fluoride
Systemic fluoride enters the body through water, soft drinks, teas, and certain supplements. Once absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, it is distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream and stored in teeth and bones.
2. Topical Fluoride
Topical fluoride is applied directly to the teeth, helping to protect against cavities and decay. Common topical applications include toothpaste, mouthwash, gels, foams, and varnishes. At Komal Jain Dentistry, our dentists may apply a fluoride foam, gel, or varnish for a few minutes during your visit. For patients at higher risk of cavities, we may also prescribe at-home fluoride gels for daily use.
Why Fluoride Is Added to Drinking Water
Fluoridated water is a simple, cost-effective way to prevent cavities and promote dental health on a community-wide scale. By combining water fluoridation with professional fluoride treatments, we can provide maximum protection against tooth decay.
