There are many debates about whether or not the fluoride distributed at dental offices is safe. At Coulter Family Dentistry, we would never recommend a product to our patients if we felt it would cause them harm in any way. We are in the business to HELP! We recommend fluoride to patients at every cleaning appointment- even if you get fluoride through your tap water at home. Fluoride remineralizes enamel, decreases tooth sensitivity, and stops decay at the beginning stages. Fluoride can be toxic to young children if not administered properly, due to overexposure by swallowing fluoride toothpaste or misuse of prescription fluoride. We follow proper age requirement guidelines when distributing fluoride to any and every patient that comes through our door.
