Hi, I’m Dr. Ashish Patel with Dentistry at East Pedmont. Let’s talk about fluoride. One of the simplest, most affordable ways to protect your teeth and avoid costly dental treatments later. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in water, soil, and some foods. It’s added to toothpaste and public water systems for one reason. It works. Here’s how. Fluoride helps rebuild weak spots in your enamel and makes your teeth more resistant to cavities. Long-term studies have shown that it can reduce your risk of tooth decay by up to 25%. And yes, it’s safe. Fluoride is backed by the American Dental Association and the World Health Organization and decades of research. Used properly, it’s trusted, proven tool in modern dentistry. If you have questions about fluoride or want to make sure you’re getting the right amount of fluoride, we’re here to help. The topical application of fluoride only takes minutes, and can be applied at your next cleaning. An easy step like fluoride can
make a big difference in your overall long-term dental health. Call or text us at 770-321-5558 or visit our website to schedule your consultation.
