Fluoride prophylaxis

Fluoride is known to prevent dental caries because of three mechanisms. 

  • Influence on De- und Remineralization
    Idealy, a balance between De- and Remineralization is present on the tooth surface. Fluoride promote Remineralization.
  • Increased Acid-Resistance of dental enamel 
    by placement of fluoride in the cristal pattern of the tooth hard tissue.
  • Antibacterial effect
    Fluoride has an antibacterial effect, via obstructon of metabolsim of plaque bateria.

Fluorides are administered systemically via drinking water, cooking salt or fluoride pills or topically eg. via toothpastes.  We would be pleased to inform you in detail in our pratice. 
Fluoride contributes to caries prophylaxis, but is no not suitable to prevent caries on it's own.
