Fluoride Treamtent
Prevent Tooth Decay
Fluoride is the most effective agent available to help prevent tooth decay. It is a mineral that is naturally present in varying amounts in almost all foods and water supplies. The benefits of fluoride have been well known for over 50 years and are supported by many health and professional organizations.

Remember, fluoride alone will not prevent tooth decay! It is important to brush at least twice a day, floss regularly, eat balanced meals, reduce sugary snacks, and visit your dentist on a regular basis.
Although most people receive fluoride from food and water, sometimes it is not enough to help prevent decay. Dr Escarsega or Jessica RDH may recommend the use of home and/or professional fluoride treatments for the following reasons:
- Inadequate saliva flow
- Recent history of dental decay
- Fair to poor oral hygiene habits
- Inadequate exposure to fluorides
- Frequent sugar and carbohydrate intake
- Deep pits and fissures on the chewing surfaces of teeth
