Tooth enamel is dissolved and replaced constantly in the mouth, and fluoride makes that replacement material much stronger. Research indicates fluoride can help prevent cavities by:
- Making the tooth enamel stronger to protect against acids in the mouth formed by bacteria and sugar; and
- Helping reduce the number of bacteria that stays on the tooth surface.

Fluoride Treatments Near Me
Water fluoridation is a common practice in U.S. public water systems. However, bottled water, home treatment systems, and private well water may not be fluoridated. The use of fluoride toothpaste and mouthwashes and a diet that includes foods with natural fluoride may be sufficient. However, children under 6 with any history of decay and older children with a few cavities and other risk factors are at moderate to high risk for decay and may benefit from professional fluoride applications. Top Tooth Pediatric + Teen Dentistry in Charlottesville, VA, will evaluate your child’s dental health and offer fluoride treatments in our office if needed. Call us at (434) 817-KIDS and schedule your child's fluoride treatment today!
