Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that safely strengthens tooth enamel, restores vital minerals to early tooth decay, and creates a highly acid-resistant surface to prevent future cavities. According to systemic reviews by the American Dental Association (ADA), professional-strength topical fluoride varnish applied twice yearly provides substantial cavity reduction for both children and adults at elevated risk for decay. By incorporating fluoride into routine preventive care, patients can significantly minimize the need for invasive dental fillings and crowns.
Fluoride is part of Preventive Dentistry at Virginia Dental Care, located at 915 N Quincy St in Arlington, VA.
