If you think $100 is too much for toothpaste, don’t worry, you can enjoy a brilliant smile without breaking your budget. When you are buying toothpaste, you have plenty of options. Toothpastes come with ingredients to whiten your teeth, freshen your breath and to fight things like plaque, tartar and even gum disease. Many brands of toothpaste contain fluoride, a mineral that has been proven to strengthen your teeth. Since every mouth is different, you should talk to your dentist about the best toothpaste for you.

In the end, it’s up to you whether or not you want to brush your teeth with $100 toothpaste. But no matter how exclusive you toothpaste may be, it won’t do you any good if it is just sitting on the shelf waiting to impress whatever guests are snooping in your medicine cabinet. As our dentist, Dr. Khashayar Khomejany will tell you, you need to brush at least twice a day, every day, for two minutes at a time.

This leaves your teeth increasingly vulnerable to bacterial tooth decay and tooth sensitivity.

One easy method to bolster the strength of your tooth enamel is to have Dr. Sean and Dr. Sepi administer a fluoride treatment at Plaza Dental Care. This introduces a potent amount of fluoride directly to your tooth enamel, bolstering the mineral density.

It can also help reduce the microscopic pores in your teeth that cause tooth sensitivity. It’s also important to note that while the fluoride treatment cannot reverse existing cavities, it can significantly reduce your chances of suffering a new cavity.

Reducing your consumption of acidic foods and beverages will go a long way toward preventing future demineralization effects. You should also brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste that has earned the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance.

Our dentists might also prescribe fluoride supplements to help you maintain healthy teeth on a daily basis. This often comes in the form of a concentrated fluoride toothpaste or fluoride mouthrinse.

If you live in the Vallejo, California, area and you’re concerned about the strength of your tooth enamel, you should call 707-642-1360 to explore your fluoride options at our office.
