Frequently Asked Questions!
Avoid sticky, hard, and chewy foods immediately after getting a fluoride filling. Foods like caramel, nuts, and chewing gum can dislodge the filling or cause discomfort. Opt for soft foods and avoid extreme temperatures.
Fluoride significantly reduces the risk of cavities by strengthening enamel and promoting remineralization, but it cannot prevent cavities entirely. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential for optimal cavity prevention.
Fluoride primarily strengthens tooth enamel and prevents decay, but it does not whiten teeth. For teeth whitening, consider professional treatments or whitening toothpaste specifically designed for that purpose.
Getting a fluoride filling is typically not painful. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring comfort during the procedure. Some may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity afterward, but it is usually temporary.
