Fluoride Treatments in Westlake, OH

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in water and soil. It is also present naturally in foods (raisins, seafood) and beverages (like tea, wine) at varying concentrations. Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by making the 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 to your teeth), which aids in repairing early decay before cavity forms in the tooth.

We offer topical Fluoride treatments in the form of Fluoride varnish after dental cleanings. If your child is at high risk of caries, we may recommend a high fluoride prescription toothpaste to be used at home.
