The Role of Fluoride in Oral Health

Fluoride is a mineral that plays a critical role in maintaining strong, healthy teeth. It works by remineralizing enamel, the protective outer layer of your teeth, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in your mouth. At Magnolia Dental Studio, we recommend fluoride treatments as part of your regular dental care routine, especially if you’re prone to cavities or have areas of weakened enamel.

In addition to professional treatments, fluoride can be found in most toothpaste and mouth rinses, providing an easy way to protect your teeth at home. By strengthening your enamel, fluoride helps to prevent tooth decay and maintain your smile’s health and beauty. If you’re unsure whether you’re getting enough fluoride, our Burbank CA dentist can assess your needs and recommend the best course of action to ensure your teeth are well-protected.
