Fluoride Applications
Dr. Yazdani can help determine if you are receiving an appropriate amount of fluoride in your diet.
Fluorides come in two basic forms:
Topical Fluorides: These fluorides strengthen teeth by providing better resistance to decay. This category includes toothpastes and home mouth rinses, as well as gels, foams and rinses incorporated during your dental visits.
Systemic Fluorides: These fluorides include water fluoridation, tablets, drops or lozenge dietary fluoride supplements. Not all public or private water sources contain ADA-recommended levels of fluoridation (0.7 to 1.2 parts fluoride per million parts water).
You can ask Dr. Yazdani for information about the fluoridation level in your community’s water. Dietary fluoride supplements may be recommended for children between the ages of six months and sixteen who live in communities without fluoridated water. These supplements are available by prescription only.
