Preventive Dentistry Fluoride
A mineral called fluoride helps to prevent dental caries, or tooth decay. An individual's teeth with dental caries produce acid, which damages tooth enamel. Even in the early stages of tooth decay, fluoride can restore damaged teeth. There are two ways to consume fluoride: topically and systemically. The topical kind is applied to dental enamel.
Fluoride treatments in Pune are typically professional procedures that a dentist or dental hygienist applies to a patient's teeth to enhance oral health and lower the risk of cavities. However, only when specifically instructed by a dentist are patients able to use some high-concentration fluoride treatments at home.
What is Fluoride Varnish?
A dental procedure known as fluoride varnish can help prevent, slow down, or stop the progression of tooth decay.
Fluoride, a mineral that can improve tooth enamel (the outer layer of teeth), is used to make fluoride varnish.
- If you have a high risk of acquiring dental caries, or cavities, fluoride can be extremely beneficial.
When germs accumulate on teeth and gums and produce a sticky film of plaque, cavities develop. Teeth and gum tissue are eroded by the acid that plaque creates. Bacteria can infect and destroy the nerves and blood at the centre of the tooth if plaque wears away the enamel layer.
When germs have damaged the enamel of tooth surfaces, fluoride restores minerals. - Additionally, it can stop the development of dangerous oral germs and help prevent cavities.
Fluoride can help prevent tooth decay from reaching the deeper portions of teeth by strengthening the outer surface of your teeth, which cannot be removed by decay.
Remember that using fluoride varnish is not a foolproof method of preventing cavities. Fluoride varnish treatments work best to prevent decay when a child also uses the recommended amount of fluoridated toothpaste, flosses frequently, receives routine dental care, and consumes a nutritious diet.
