Tooth decay is caused by acid-producing bacteria called plaque, which will collect around your teeth and gums. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits are helpful to get rid of a lot of this plaque, but fluoride treatments help prevent plaque and can repair teeth in the earliest stages of tooth decay. Below are some factors that increase your risk of tooth decay and increase the need for fluoride treatment: -Poor oral hygiene -Lack of regular professional dental care -Active orthodontic treatments -Exposed root surfaces of teeth -Poor diet Existing restorations
"Might be the best dentist office visit I have ever had. I found out things about my teeth I hadn't known in all my 62 years. Dr. Paul is awesome and every person I met or spoke to on the phone prior to my initial appointment was also really great. Highly recommend."
