Fluoride and Sensitivity Treatment

Understanding Fluoride Treatments

Maintaining regular dental check-ups is crucial for not only keeping your teeth and gums healthy but also for preventing a variety of oral health issues before they develop into more serious conditions. Routine examinations help catch problems early when they are most treatable and less likely to cause significant damage or require extensive care.

What is Fluoride?

Fluoride is a natural mineral that builds strong teeth and prevents cavities. It supports healthy tooth enamel and fights the bacteria that harm teeth and gums.

Benefits of Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments are particularly beneficial for individuals at risk of dental decay. These treatments can:

  • Restore minerals to tooth surfaces where bacteria may have eroded the enamel.
  • Inhibit the growth of harmful oral bacteria.
  • Prevent the development of cavities.

Addressing Tooth Sensitivity

Causes of Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity typically occurs when the enamel on the outside of the tooth wears away, exposing the dentin beneath it. This can result from:

  • Brushing too hard.
  • Long-term use of mouthwash.
  • Consumption of acidic foods and beverages.
  • Gum recession that exposes the tooth’s root.

How Sensitivity Treatments Work

Sensitivity treatments aim to block the transmission of sensation from the tooth surface to the nerve, and they often include the use of desensitising toothpaste or other topical agents.
