Fluoride Treatment - Dentist Ottawa

Fluoride is a mineral that is naturally in many foods and water. Due to demineralization and remineralization, minerals are lost and added to our teeth. Minerals are easily lost from our teeth when sugars are consumed- due to the formation of plaque which attacks the enamel. Fluoride is very important as it helps in re-mineralization which prevents tooth decay, by making the tooth more resistant to acid attacks. It is very important to have a good amount of fluoride in order to maintain optimal dental health.

Fluoride is found in foods and in water. Other ways to receive fluoride is trough toothpaste, mouth wash- or through a gel, foam or vanish at the dentist.

Here at Florence Dentistry we offer fluoride treatments in the form of a varnish. The varnish is applied onto your teeth during your dental visit, and it helps to act as a protective layer. It is recommended to follow a soft food diet for the next three days in order for the fluoride to remineralize.

Dental Care Plan with Ottawa Downtown Dentist

Maintaining good oral health is essential to our overall health. Unfortunately many

of us avoid going to the dentist due to high costs. Hospital and physician care is covered by the health care system in Canada, but dentistry is not. Individuals wishing to attend a dentist must pay out of their pocket, or have a private dental care plan.

This is a problem in our health care system as many dental problems can lead to higher problems such as diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Canadians that have insecure jobs or receive low wages avoid the dentist due to the cost. These Canadians are also usually the ones with malnourished diets, and therefore those who need dental care the most. This creates a problem as those who need dental care the most, are the ones that receive it the least.
