Fluoride is a natural mineral that is found in water. It effectively prevents tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria. Fluoride treatments are
an important part of preventive dental care for patients of all ages.It is important to remember that fluoride is only effective when used as part of a comprehensive oral healthcare routine that includes regular brushing and flossing.
At Swartout Dental, we offer dental sealants as one of our general dentistry services. Sealants are a great way to protect your teeth from cavities and decay and help make them look their best.

We highly recommend dental sealants to patients looking for a safe, effective way to protect their teeth. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
Our comprehensive periodontal care process includes a detailed examination, during which we use a small mirror to look for any signs of gum disease. We will also measure the depth of any pockets around your teeth using a periodontal probe. If we find any areas of concern, we will develop a personalized treatment plan to restore the health of your gums.
Our state-of-the-art digital X-ray system lets us detect problems such as tooth decay, infections, and tumors at their earliest stages. We also use this technology to perform oral cancer screenings, which are quick, painless, and highly effective in detecting this disease in its early stages.

Are Dental X-rays Safe?
There are always risks associated with any medical procedure, but dental x-rays are considered safe. The amount of radiation exposure from a dental x-ray is low, and the risk of developing any harmful effects from the x-rays is even lower.
How do I know if I need fluoride treatment?
There are a few general indicators that you may need fluoride treatment. If you frequently have cavities, Dr. Swartout may suggest a fluoride treatment to help prevent future decay. Other risk factors that require fluoride include dry mouth, gum disease, and braces. The dentist will perform an oral evaluation to determine if you would benefit from a fluoride treatment.
Why are regular dental appointments important?
Regular dental appointments help ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy. Frequent visits to the dentist allow your dentist to catch issues early before they become more serious. Besides, regular dental appointments can help you avoid costly dental procedures in the future.
