A Primer on All-on-X Dental Implants

At Mission Hills Dental, Dr. Arash Razi emphasizes preventive dental care as the foundation of lifelong oral health. One of the most effective preventive tools we offer is fluoride treatment—a safe, painless, and highly effective way to strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of cavities.

Fluoride is a natural mineral that supports healthy tooth enamel and combats the bacteria that cause decay. While fluoride is often found in drinking water and toothpaste, professional fluoride treatments provide a much higher concentration, delivering enhanced protection for your teeth—especially if you’re prone to cavities, experience dry mouth, or have exposed root surfaces.

Dr. Razi brings over 16 years of clinical experience and advanced training from New York University and a residency at UCLA Harbor Medical Center to every aspect of patient care. His expertise allows him to tailor fluoride treatments based on your individual risk factors, oral health history, and lifestyle habits.

During a fluoride treatment, a concentrated fluoride gel or varnish is applied to the teeth after a professional cleaning. This process only takes a few minutes, but the effects are long-lasting. Once applied, the fluoride penetrates the enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque, bacteria, and sugars in the mouth.

For patients in Granada Hills, Sylmar, and San Fernando, fluoride treatments are especially valuable for maintaining strong enamel between routine cleanings. This is particularly important for children, seniors, and patients with braces, crowns, or a history of frequent cavities.

Dr. Razi also integrates the latest dental technology—such as 3D imaging and digital records—to track enamel health over time and recommend treatments as needed. His commitment to patient comfort and prevention ensures that every fluoride application is both effective and easy.

Ultimately, fluoride treatments are a smart, proactive choice for protecting your teeth. Whether you’re dealing with early signs of enamel wear or simply want to boost your cavity resistance, Dr. Razi and the team at Mission Hills Dental are here to help you maintain a healthy, resilient smile.
