Fluoride treatment is a simple yet powerful preventive service that helps protect teeth against decay and sensitivity. At Tye Family Dentistry, our dentists and team offer professional fluoride treatments in Macomb, Michigan, as part of our commitment to strong, healthy smiles. This quick and effective solution is ideal for patients of all ages, especially those at higher risk for cavities.
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps rebuild and strengthen tooth enamel – the outer layer of your teeth. Over time, daily exposure to acids from food, beverages and bacteria can weaken enamel and make teeth more vulnerable to decay. Fluoride helps restore lost minerals and defends against further damage.
Who Can Benefit from Fluoride Treatment?
While fluoride is often found in drinking water and toothpaste, professional fluoride treatments provide a higher concentration for stronger protection. These treatments are especially beneficial for:
- Children with developing teeth
- Patients with a history of cavities
- Individuals with dry mouth or reduced saliva flow
- Adults with exposed tooth roots or sensitivity
- Patients wearing orthodontic appliances
Benefits of fluoride treatment include:
- Strengthens enamel and prevents decay
- Helps reverse early signs of enamel demineralization
- Reduces tooth sensitivity
- Quick, painless and noninvasive application
- Supports long-term oral health and hygiene
We recommend fluoride as part of regular preventive care, typically applied during your routine dental cleaning and exam.
