A little dental prevention can go a long way toward decreasing your risk for tooth decay. While daily brushing and flossing are two common ways to keep your teeth healthy, many dentists also recommend fluoride treatments to further minimize the chance of cavity development. Here is what you need to know about the relationship between fluoride and dental health.
What is fluoride?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that has been shown to fortify tooth enamel. Because fluoride has significant cavity-fighting properties, many towns and cities around the world include fluoride in their public water supplies. Fluoride also has no taste, so its addition to community tap water is undetectable.
How does fluoride help teeth?
Fluoride helps to protect tooth enamel in several ways. Each time you eat, the bacteria in your mouth emit acids that attack tooth enamel. If a person’s teeth have already been strengthened with fluoride, it makes it considerably more difficult for these acids to penetrate the outer tooth structure and cause damage. Also, if these acids do find an unprotected area of tooth enamel, fluoride can fortify the eroded tooth to prevent further harm.
Should you receive fluoride treatment?
Tooth decay is a lifelong concern, which means that fluoride treatment at any age can help ward off cavities. Some individuals with existing conditions can especially benefit from fluoride. If you have a history of tooth decay, fluoride can become an important measure in your fight against future cavities. If you take medications that can cause dry mouth, which may promote cavity formation, you can also benefit from fluoride treatment. To find out more about how this simple preventative procedure can safeguard your dental health, consult with your family dentist.
West Chester Dental Arts offers fluoride treatment for children and adults. To schedule an appointment for any one of our many dental services, including fluoride treatment, teeth whitening, and dental implants, call (484) 881-3501.

Good dental health rests upon establishing a regular hygiene regimen and avoiding detrimental habits. This video discusses the steps you can take to ensure your oral wellbeing for years to come.
The first tip for good dental health is to use a soft toothbrush. Soft toothbrushes are gentler on tooth enamel and easier to maneuver between teeth and gums. Flossing is also important for keeping your teeth healthy. Proper flossing technique involves up and down motion between each tooth for the removal of plaque and bacteria. Also, don’t forget to brush at least twice a day, but wait a few minutes to clean your teeth if you’ve had an acidic drink or meal. A commitment to quitting smoking can also go a long way toward maintaining your oral health.
