Can Fluoride Really Help Adults?

Good morning everyone!

We all know that when young kids and teens visit the dentist each year a fluoride treatment is almost always done to help ensure top protection for their teeth. But you might be wondering what about adults? Can fluoride really help adults too? Well we have some news for you...fluoride isn't just for children! "Everyone should use fluoride toothpaste every day. But some adults are at higher risk of decay than others. They might need more intensive use of fluoride." To find out if you might be one of them take a look at this informative article from colgate.com.

While you will do what you can to limit their intake of these sugary treats, your kids will probably be eating their fair share of sugar at your family holiday parties. Despite their consumption of sugar, there are ways to keep your kids' healthy teeth and gums in shape and to minimize damage to their dental health."

Fluoride is Important!

It's Monday and today we are talking about fluoride! We find that some patients overlook the fluoride in their daily oral routines and don't realize the full benefits from it. Thanks to an article from Delta Dental we are sharing some more information which may help answer any questions you may have!

First off, you may be wondering...what exactly is fluoride? 
"Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral compound found in water and soil. It is also present in foods and beverages at varying concentrations. Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by making the entire tooth surface more resistant to acid attacks from the bacteria that live in the plaque on your teeth. Fluoride also promotes remineralization (adding minerals such as calcium back in to your teeth), which aids in repairing early decay before a cavity (hole) forms in the tooth. There are two ways to increase fluoride protection: topical and systemic applications." (Learn more by visiting: https://www.deltadental.com/Public/Study/StudyFluoride.jsp)
