July 20, 2014

Shutterstock Happy Dental Patient (2)No one wants to face dealing with a painful cavity or the treatment that tooth decay ultimately requires; that’s why preventive dentistry plays such an important role in overall oral health. At Renee Corbitt, DDS, patients from Fort Worth, TX and the surrounding areas are invited to explore the possibilities of simple preventive dental techniques that actively help you and your family avoid cavities. With general dentistry services like dental sealants and fluoride, Dr. Corbitt and her team help patients just like you maintain optimal dental health and beautiful, shining smiles for life.

What are Dental Sealants & Fluoride Treatments?

As you eat and drink throughout the day, bacteria and various elements from your diet contribute to the buildup of plaque on the surfaces of your teeth. Over time, the acid produced by this sticky film begins to eat away at your enamel, leading to decay. In conjunction with twice-daily brushing, flossing, and rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash, routine visits to Dr. Corbitt help mitigate this damaging process.

With fluoride treatments and dental sealants, Dr. Corbitt can protect your tooth enamel from bacteria accumulation and acid erosion, decreasing your risk of developing cavities. Dental sealants serve as a barrier against cavity-causing bacteria while fluoride treatments fortify enamel, replacing vital minerals that are removed by acid every day. Children, teens, and many adults can benefit from these preventive measures, so ask Dr. Corbitt about scheduling your checkup today.
