What is Fluoride? | Robbinsdale MN Dentist

What is Fluoride? | Robbinsdale MN Dentist

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that occurs in most water sources. When you visit your dentist the last thing that is usually completed after a dental cleaning is putting on a fluoride varnish. So why is this fluoride varnish so important and what is it doing for our teeth? Fluoride is important for helping to prevent cavities in not only kids, but also adults as well. The top layer of your tooth is made of a structure called the enamel. This is an area made up of tightly packed minerals that can be lost over time due to things such as demineralization. Demineralization is when acid and bacteria attack the tooth surface slowly causing the enamel to lose these minerals, therefore making the tooth more susceptible to cavities. By placing the fluoride varnish on the teeth, we are able to have a high concentration of fluoride held close to the tooth surface for a period of time. This works to slow the demineralization and boost remineralization of the enamel surface. By doing this it helps strengthen the tooth enamel layer and helps with any sensitivity of the teeth as well.

Why is Fluoride Important? | Robbinsdale MN Dentist

While fluoride treatments within the dental office are super important, fluoride applied outside of the office is super important as well. This fluoride can be found in toothpastes and mouth rinses as well and can help to speed up the remineralization process. Come and visit your local dentist today in Robbinsdale; Minnesota to get your dental cleaning and fluoride varnish. We accept most insurances including medical assistance.
