What is Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in water and soil. Fluoride is added to water supplies to prevent tooth decay. Sodium fluoride, the most common form of fluoride, is added to drinking water as a part of public health campaigns. There are also topical forms of fluoride available such as toothpaste and mouth rinses. Treatment with topical fluoride can be used for areas such as the gums and crowns of teeth.
Fluoride treatment is a dental procedure that uses fluoride to reduce the amount of tooth decay in a patient’s mouth. The procedure is usually done when a person starts to develop cavities.
Why Fluoride is Used to Make Stronger Teeth
Fluoride helps to make tooth enamel stronger and more resistant to bacteria. Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in soil and water. It makes teeth stronger by making the surface of the tooth more resistant to decay caused by acids from plaque. The fluoride then combines with certain minerals that make up the tooth enamel to form fluorapatite, which is less soluble than other types of enamel.
Fluoride prevents the growth of bacterial plaque, which forms on teeth and can lead to tooth decay
