Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride has long been the stalwart defense against cavities, present in our everyday dental care products such as toothpastes and mouthwashes. But what many don't realize is the sheer power and benefits this element brings to our dental health. At Lakeland Creek Family Dental, we take pride in offering top-tier fluoride treatments, ensuring that residents of Merrillville, IN, and surrounding areas like Hobart, Crown Point, Schererville, Gary, Griffith, and New Chicago enjoy a lifetime of radiant smiles. Under the expert hands of Dr. Dankowski, this treatment promises to amplify your dental defenses and promote oral health.

What are the benefits of fluoride?

Fluoride's primary benefit is its power to fortify our teeth, making them more resistant to decay and cavities. By integrating professionally administered fluoride treatments into your oral health regimen, you not only enhance the protection from your daily fluoride-infused products but also invest in long-term dental health.

While many are familiar with fluoride in toothpaste or mouthwash, the types used in professional treatments differ. At Lakeland Creek Family Dental, we use a potent liquid fluoride, meticulously applied to cover every nook and cranny of your teeth, ensuring comprehensive protection.

Is fluoride toxic? How much fluoride is the right amount?

In regulated doses, fluoride is safe and highly beneficial. It is vital to get the right amount, which is why professional treatments like those at our clinic in Merrillville, IN, are recommended. Dr. Dankowski ensures that you receive the optimal amount of fluoride, maximizing benefits while eliminating risks.

While fluoride is generally safe, excessive amounts can lead to dental or skeletal fluorosis. This is why trusting professionals like those at Lakeland Creek Family Dental is crucial. Our team is adept at delivering the right fluoride dose tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you reap the benefits without the risks.

How often should I have fluoride treatments?

Your fluoride treatment frequency will depend on your oral health needs. Some patients benefit from treatments every visit, while others might need it less frequently. Consult with Dr. Dankowski during your next appointment or cleaning to get personalized recommendations.

The pros of fluoride treatments are numerous – stronger teeth, reduced risk of cavities, and overall enhanced oral health. However, it's essential to ensure the treatments are done right to avoid the cons, which can include overexposure. Trusting experts like our team in Merrillville ensures you get all the pros without the cons.
