Fluoride....not just for kidsWednesday, July 02, 2008
FLUORIDE... NOT JUST FOR KIDS
As an adult, you might wonder why you should use fluoride. The benefits of fluoride continue throughout life. Fluoride is used for an adult to obviously, prevent decay and to aid in remineralizing teeth. Receding of the gums exposes the root of the tooth. Fluoride is useful for this condition because root of the tooth is softer than the crown of the tooth, which makes it more prone to decay. Adults experience side effects from medical conditions and medications, which cause Xerostomia (dry mouth). When the salivary glands do not produce a sufficient amount of saliva, the PH balance of the oral cavity is off and saliva is not present to neutralize the acid in the mouth, which creates an environment for decay to develop. Fluoride is also prescribed for tooth sensitivity as well. It helps to stop the transmission of pain from the outside of the tooth to the nerve of the tooth.
As you can see, fluoride has a very important role in the overall health of your teeth. The next time you are our office, ask which type of fluoride therapy would work best for you. If you are ready to have your teeth examined and cleaned, please call us at 561-394-9000. We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
