Preventing tooth decay starts long before any pain appears or a filling is needed. One of the preventive treatments your dentist may recommend is fluoride treatment.
Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and makes teeth more resistant to the acids produced by bacteria in the mouth. Professional application is carried out with special dental products and may be recommended for children as well as for adults with a higher risk of tooth decay, depending on their needs.
Fluoride treatment does not replace daily brushing or regular dental check-ups. It is part of a complete prevention programme.
At our dental practice in Kalamata, we place particular emphasis on preventive dentistry, protecting natural teeth and personalised care. Dentist Athanasios Nikitopoulos in Kalamata can advise you on whether fluoride treatment is suitable for you or your child.
