The Role of Fluoride Treatments in Preventing Tooth Decay and Strengthening Enamel
Received Date: Sep 01, 2024 / Published Date: Sep 30, 2024
Abstract
Fluoride treatments are essential dental interventions aimed at preventing tooth decay and strengthening tooth enamel. Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, plays a critical role in remineralizing early signs of decay caused by acid exposure. Typically administered as a gel, foam, or varnish, these treatments are applied directly to the teeth, offering added protection, especially for individuals at higher risk of cavities. This includes children, those with a history of dental issues, and individuals with poor oral hygiene. When combined with regular brushing, flossing, and proper oral care, fluoride treatments can significantly reduce the incidence of tooth decay, promoting long-term dental health.
