Tooth decay occurs due to plaque, a type of bacteria that produces acids and accumulates around your teeth and gums. While brushing, flossing, and scheduling regular dental appointments can significantly reduce plaque levels, fluoride treatments are effective in preventing plaque buildup and can even repair early stages of tooth decay. Here are several factors that can heighten your risk of tooth decay and may lead to the need for fluoride treatments: - Inadequate oral hygiene - Absence of consistent professional dental care - Ongoing orthodontic procedures - Exposed tooth root surfaces - Unhealthy dietary choices - Presence of existing dental restorations
"Welcoming, professional and respectful of patients levels of anxiety/ and distress regarding dental procedures. The staff takes excellent care in the comfort of patients. Questions are answered respectfully. Warmth and concern are expressed approximately. This is a practice that builds relationships between professional staff and their patients- who are not just “passing through” but are part of the practice- which is not so large that one feels like a number- not an individual."
