Fluoride Treatments
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

"I recently had to take my mom to Totem Lake Smiles Clinic for an urgent dental issue, and I cannot recommend Dr. Patil-Ghatkar enough. We were in a bit of a panic, but she was incredibly accommodating and managed to fit us in for a last-minute emergency appointment, which we truly appreciated. The entire team at the clinic was incredibly thorough and professional. The dental assistant was great with the X-rays, and Dr. Patil-Ghatkar performed a very careful examination. She provided an accurate diagnosis of the ailment and clearly explained the recommended next steps for treatment. If you are looking for a practice where the whole staff is skilled, kind, and truly cares about their patients, I highly suggest booking an appointment here."
