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 <b>Dr. Corbitt <\/b>help mitigate this damaging process.<\/p>\n<p>With <b>fluoride treatments <\/b>and <b>dental sealants, Dr. Corbitt <\/b>can protect your tooth enamel from bacteria accumulation and acid erosion, decreasing your risk of developing cavities. <b>Dental sealants <\/b>serve as a barrier against cavity-causing bacteria while <b>fluoride treatments <\/b>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 <b>Dr. Corbitt<\/b> about scheduling your checkup today.<\/p>\n<p><b>Schedule Your Preventive Dentistry Visit <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Are you wondering when the last time your children received a fluoride treatment for stronger, healthier teeth?
