Fluoriterapioilla

Fluoriterapioilla refers to the application of fluoride treatments. In dentistry, this commonly involves the topical application of fluoride agents to teeth. These agents, such as fluoride varnishes, gels, or foams, are designed to strengthen tooth enamel and make it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars. Fluoride works by promoting remineralization, which is the process of rebuilding tooth enamel that has begun to demineralize. It can also inhibit the demineralization process. This preventative measure is widely used to reduce the risk of dental caries, also known as cavities. Fluoride therapies are typically administered by dental professionals during regular check-ups, though over-the-counter fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash are also widely available for daily use. The effectiveness of fluoride in preventing tooth decay is supported by extensive scientific research.
