Your teeth are protected by one of the toughest substances in nature: your tooth enamel. But over time, that enamel can be worn away, leaving your smile vulnerable to dental problems. At Advocate Dental of Palatine, our dentists and team offer fluoride treatments in Palatine, Illinois. If your city fluoridates the water supply and if you use a toothpaste containing fluoride, chances are you are getting enough, but Dr. George Skoog can give you an exam and make a recommendation. Call our office at 847-359-8732 today to make an appointment.

Fluoride helps to strengthen your teeth and protect them from tooth decay. As you eat and drink throughout the day, bacteria, sugars and acids constantly attack and demineralize the enamel of your teeth. Fluoride works to remineralize tooth enamel, preventing tooth decay and cavities. In addition, fluoride can strengthen teeth as they develop to make sure they are strong and healthy. This makes fluoride very important for children as their teeth grow in.

Our dentists and team members may recommend professional fluoride treatment during your regular dental checkup. We may suggest further fluoride treatment if your teeth are prone to decay or if you are not receiving a sufficient amount of fluoride from other sources. Professional fluoride is available in the form of a gel, varnish or foam. Fluoride treatment is just one of the ways our team helps you keep your smile healthy for a lifetime.
