Cavity Defense
Fluoride hardens enamel against the acids from plaque and sugars, helping you avoid new cavities.
Could your enamel use an extra layer of defense against decay? Fluoride treatments in Woodland Hills, CA, are a fast, affordable way to strengthen your teeth and guard against cavities. At Woodland Hills Family Dentistry, we offer this simple preventive treatment to help patients keep their smiles healthy and strong.
Fluoride treatments give your teeth a healthy boost by applying a fluoride-rich substance that strengthens enamel and keeps cavities at bay. Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in water and many foods, and it works by remineralizing your enamel and toughening it against the acid attacks from bacteria and sugars in your mouth. While children gain a clear benefit, adults can profit just as much, especially those with sensitive teeth, exposed roots, or a history of dental issues.
