We hope you are enjoying the summer so far-the part that has not rained!

It's amazing that summer is winding down in just a few short weeks. We understand that life is busy and with camp and vacations it's sometimes easy to forget to book your dental appointment! If you would like to do so before September please click here and Natalie would love to reserve your time!

Enjoy the summer,

It's in our water, our toothpaste and we are even treated with it when we visit the dentist, but what exactly is fluoride?

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that is found in the earths crust and throughout nature. Fluoride is used widely in dentistry to combat tooth decay.

It does this in three ways:

Fluoride aids in the remineralization of your teeth - this is the process that replenishes the calcium and phosphorous that keeps your teeth hard.
Fluoride makes the tooth more resistant to the formation of tooth decay.
Fluoride inhibits oral bacteria's ability to create acids.

Consuming the small amount that is often added in public drinking water has been shown to reduce your risk of tooth decay.

If you have any questions or concerns about fluoride ask us on your next visit, we'd be pleased to answer them.

More than 40 percent of children have tooth decay by the time they reach kindergarten. This statistic is alarming!

Your child's oral health care should start early!
