Tooth decay is caused by acid-producing bacteria called plaque, which will collect around your teeth and gums. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits are helpful to get rid of a lot of this plaque, but fluoride treatments help prevent plaque and can repair teeth in the earliest stages of tooth decay. Below are some factors that increase your risk of tooth decay and increase the need for fluoride treatment: -Poor oral hygiene -Lack of regular professional dental care -Active orthodontic treatments -Exposed root surfaces of teeth -Poor diet Existing restorations
"The workers are all extremely friendly and made sure the environment was as comfortable as possible. The facility itself is very clean, well-maintained, and modern! I was so impressed I reached out to family and friends recommending Salinas Valley Dental for their next appointment. Completely shifted my view on what a dentist appointment can be!"
