Its primary use is in supporting the teeth, which is why it\u2019s primarily placed in dental hygiene products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, it can be hard to get enough fluoride from your diet, which is why it\u2019s usually supplemented via other sources. Most toothpaste contains fluoride, as do many kinds of mouthwash. You might also be aware that most tap water in the U.S. is fluoridated, meaning that you can also get it that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does Fluoride Do For Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main thing that fluoride does in the body is strengthen the enamel, which is the primary material that makes up the exterior of the tooth. This can slow down enamel erosion, protecting the integrity of the tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve lost your enamel it doesn\u2019t grow back, so getting enough fluoride is vitally important so that you can resist enamel erosion before it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Benefits of Professional Fluoride Treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you see your dentist for a cleaning, a part of that will usually entail polishing your teeth. This removes surface stains and bacteria, making your smile brighter than it may be otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this polishing can potentially remove a layer of fluoride from the surface of your teeth. Fluoride treatments are often recommended after routine care to replenish that surface enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Pasadena Family Dentistry, we want to be a dental practice that makes people calm and comfortable for the duration of their stay with us.
