Fluoride is a powerful, naturally occurring mineral that plays a key role in preventing tooth decay and strengthening enamel. At Lisa J. McDonald, DMD & Associates, we offer professional fluoride treatments to enhance your oral health and protect your teeth from cavities.
How Does Fluoride Work?
Fluoride protects teeth in two ways:
Systemic Fluoride: Found in foods and water sources, as well as fluoride supplements, helping developing teeth grow stronger before they emerge.
Topical Fluoride: Applied directly to the enamel through toothpaste, mouth rinses, and professional fluoride treatments, making teeth more resistant to decay.
