Whether for children developing strong, cavity-resistant teeth or adults looking to maintain long-term oral health, Dr. Claudia Cortadi offers professional fluoride treatments tailored to your needs. Quick, painless, and highly effective, fluoride therapy is an easy way to give your smile extra defense between visits.
What is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a natural mineral that considered one of the most effective ingredients for dealing with tooth decay. It is available in the majority of foods as well as water supplies. The patients can have it from the diet, but that’s not enough in some cases for preventing decay. The use of fluoride treatment in Encinitas can help patients in the following cases:
- Presence of pits & fissures on the chewing area
- Damage due to poor oral hygienic habits
- Decay due to regular sugar & carbs intake
- Dental decay history
- Lack of adequate fluoride in the diet
- Inadequate saliva flow
There are two types of fluoride treatment- Topical Fluoride and Systemic Fluoride. The Topical process is mostly recommended to adults & young teenagers, whereas systematic treatment employed generally for children below the age of 14 years. However, our Encinitas dentist will only choose either one of these after proper evaluation of the mouth.
