The best treatment

The most common health condition is untreated dental caries. This is brought on by a variety of factors, from diet to poor oral hygiene routines, and inadequate exposure to fluoride.

Fluoride itself is a naturally occurring mineral found in some water sources, meaning it can be consumed by the everyday person. The volume in which it appears depends on which area of the world, and the UK, that an individual lives. However, patients who do not get enough fluoride may need alternative solutions to prevent against dental decay.

It is the responsibility of the dental team to ensure that patients take in ample fluoride, and they should be able to make recommendations for each unique case dependent on an individual’s needs.
