Fluoride Treatment in Nicholasville with Dr. Amanda Eschelbach, DMD
Fluoride is an important mineral that occurs naturally in the environment—and it’s great for your teeth! Learn about how our Nicholasville dentist, Dr. Amanda Eschelbach, provides professional fluoride treatment to help keep your teeth strong and cavity-free.
What is Fluoride and How Does it Benefit Dental Health?
Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in all water sources, including most U.S. public water systems. Research shows that fluoride prevents tooth decay and cavities in children and adults by strengthening enamel and helping minerals like calcium and phosphorous get deposited into your teeth.
Fluoride may also help reverse the early stages of tooth decay once it already begins!
Fluoride Treatment With our Nicholasville Dentist
Our Nicholasville dentist advises all adults and children to brush their teeth twice per day with toothpaste containing fluoride. Our team also provides professional fluoride treatment during our yearly check-ups.
We’ll apply a high concentration of fluoride to your teeth. After just a few minutes, the intensive fluoride treatment gives your teeth enhanced protection against decay and cavities.
In addition to toothpaste and professional fluoride treatments, you can also get fluoride from most public drinking water. Multiple organizations including the American Dental Association, World Health Organization, and American Medical Association endorse the practice of adding fluoride to public water systems as a way to reduce the rates of tooth decay.
