How Does Fluoride Protect Teeth?
Before teeth emerge from the gums, fluoride obtained from food, drinks, and supplements strengthens the enamel of the teeth, improving its ability to resist tooth decay. This leads to a "systemic" advantage.
Once teeth have emerged, fluoride helps to repair weakened tooth enamel and reverse early signs of tooth decay. When you brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste or receive other fluoride dental treatments from your dentist, the fluoride is applied directly to the surface of your teeth. This provides a "topical" benefit.
Professional fluoride treatment incorporates several methods. These may involve the application of fluoride varnish, the creation of custom fluoride trays, the prescription of stronger fluoride toothpaste, or a combination of these approaches
