Fluoride Treatment

If the dentist is not for you, then this is the dentist for you! I have been visiting Fullarton Park Dental for 4 years now graduating from an anxiety riddled teeth grinder to a smiling patient, knowledgeable about her dental care. Having a complex dental history/ experiences had broken a lot of trust between me and the reclining chair with a bubbler attached. Knowing I will be met by a calm environment and clear plans has finally allowed me to respond to those appointment texts with a "Y" completely stress free. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, making you feel like the only girl in the world. #rhianna. The dentists are informative, up to date, reassuring and take time in personalising your care plan. The trust has been rebuilt, brick by brick, fluoride by fluoride, calcium by calcium. I have recommended Fullarton Park Dental to all my friends and family. The hardest part about moving interstate next year is knowing I'll be leaving this dentist behind.

Is Fluoride really safe?

Yes! Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen the teeth and plays an important role in preventing tooth decay and in some cases reducing sensitivity. Most South Australian homes have fluoride added to the tap water in small amounts and is closely regulated. In the doses applied at the dentist, in fluoride toothpaste and tap water it is not harmful to your health or the environment.

What does Fluoride do?

Fluoride helps make the tooth enamel more resistant to acid attacks caused by the bacteria that lead to tooth decay. A tooth that has not been exposed to fluoride will start to break down much sooner during the acid attack than a tooth protected by fluoride.

What should I expect during a fluoride treatment?

Fluoride comes in several forms and your dental professional will choose a strength and delivery method to be suit your individual circumstances. The most common forms are a fluoride loaded polish applied with a small rubber cup or brush, a fluoride foam applied with a small cotton applicator or brush or a thick varnish applied with a small brush. Most commonly we will ask you to refrain from eating and drinking for 30 minutes but your dental professional will give you any specific instructions at the time.
