At Veda Dentistry, we offer fluoride and varnish treatments after your regular dental cleanings, which have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of future tooth decay. In fact, these preventive treatments can decrease your chances of developing cavities by as much as 60%. Taking advantage of these treatments can lead to not only healthier teeth but also potential savings on future dental work.

Significance of Fluoride and Varnishes

Fluoride and varnishes are some of the most advanced and efficient methods of delivering sodium fluoride to all erupted teeth. Varnishes are topical fluoride treatments applied directly to the surface of the teeth. Systemic fluoride, which is ingested through water, supports the development of teeth during growth, but topical fluoride is beneficial for maintaining strong teeth throughout a person’s lifetime. This makes fluoride and varnishes essential not only for children but also for adults. After dental cleanings, our dentist applies fluoride varnish at Veda Dentistry. Both children and adults can receive these treatments at an affordable cost with ease.

HOW DO FLUORIDE AND VARNISHES PREVENT CAVITIES?

Here’s how fluoride and varnishes help in cavity prevention:

  • Fluoride slows the process of tooth decay by inhibiting demineralization.

  • It enhances the enamel’s resistance to acid produced by bacteria found in plaque and aids in re-mineralizing your teeth with fluoride ions, making the tooth surface stronger and more resistant to decay.

  • It can also inhibit bacterial metabolism, resulting in reduced acid production.

On the other hand, varnish adheres to the teeth and releases gradually over several hours. There’s no need for foams or trays to hold it on your teeth! Because it clings to the teeth, it is safe for patients of all ages.

Veda Dentistry offers fluoride and varnishes to patients of every age. Contact us today to schedule your appointment!
