At Herndon Smile Design, we make preventive care a priority. One of the preventive treatments we offer is a fluoride treatment. Dr. Amirreza Rafaat or Dr. Merah Al-Jundi can help your child to keep their smile through the use of fluoride.
Fluoride is a mineral that is naturally found in water and many foods. It also is a common ingredient in most toothpastes and mouthwashes. Although you may receive a fair amount of fluoride in your day-to-day life, our dentists may recommend that you have a professional fluoride treatment to strengthen your teeth and prevent the development of cavities.
One of the benefits of fluoride is that it remineralizes tooth enamel. Many of the foods and beverages we consume each day demineralize our tooth enamel, so fluoride can help to strengthen teeth. For children, this is especially important, as it can make sure that the growing teeth are strong and healthy as they develop.
We offer fluoride treatments in Herndon, Virginia, at our state-of-the-art dental office. If you choose to get a fluoride treatment, our dentists and team can give you the treatment during a regularly scheduled dental appointment. Dental office fluoride is available in the form of gels, varnishes and foams.
If you are interested in learning more about this treatment and how it may benefit the smiles of your family members, call our office at 703-464-0000. Our knowledgeable team can help you to better understand your treatment options.
