Are you getting all the fluoride you need to keep your teeth healthy, strong, and free of decay? Fluoride intake is known to be one of the best ways to prevent tooth decay. It is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in many different foods and beverages—including most tap water. The benefits of fluoride have been widely accepted and emphasized for the past fifty years. Our Albuquerque dentist here at TruCare Dental is proud to provide many patients with the fluoride treatments they need to keep their teeth in the best shape possible.

Fluoride treatments work in two basic ways. The first is topical fluoride. Topical fluoride is designed to strengthen the teeth after they have erupted. It gives the teeth their strength by making its way into the outer enamel of the teeth. Topical fluoride can easily be gained by using fluoride infused toothpastes, mouth washes and gels. The second form of fluoride treatment is systemic fluoride. Systemic fluoride goes beyond topical fluoride in that it treats teeth that have erupted, as well as the teeth that are still developing under your gums. Systemic fluoride can be achieved simply by eating and drinking—it is present in many foods and most water supplies. For many people, this level of fluoride intake is enough, but for younger patients and patients with specific needs, additional fluoride treatments provided by our Albuquerque dentist may be necessary. Examples of some of the most common dental issues that can benefit from fluoride treatments include dental decay, fissures on the chewing surfaces of the teeth, and more.

Can you recall the last time you had your smile professionally cared for? Many of us are under the belief that our teeth can be perfectly cared for within our own homes, when the truth is that the only way to achieve true dental prophylaxis which stops cavities and infections from happening to our mouths is through regular dental appointments. In fact, regular check-ups can actually save you time and money by stopping cavities from ever happening in your mouth. For gentle yet effective care that will work to keep you smiling your best, be sure to visit your local Albuquerque general dentist at the welcoming offices of TruCare Dental for dental exams and cleanings.

If you have lapsed in your dental appointments for over a year, your doctor will often recommend a series of dental x-rays. These images are a vital part of a comprehensive dental examination. Our staff at your trusted Albuquerque general dentist works to examine every inch of your mouth below the surface where the naked eye cannot with a series of complex and state of the art digital dental x-rays. Digital x-rays work to capture images of your mouth in far greater detail than previous technology, all while putting off 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays. This allows your doctor to detect signs of gum disease, infections, decay, and even predict how wisdom teeth will erupt to stop harm from happening to your smile.

While many of us believe our electronic tooth brushes work to clean our smiles perfectly, the truth is that no amount of brushing and flossing can work to provide the same level of care as an experienced hygienist at your professional Albuquerque general dentist. Hardened deposits of calcium and tartar can begin to form on the surface of your teeth just 20 minutes after snacks and meals, and no amount of brushing and flossing will remove them. In fact, by brushing too vigorously you can actually cause harm to your gum lines and the surface of your teeth. A professional hygienist can remove tartar, calcium, plaque, and even lower the level of bacteria to insure that painful infections do not happen to you.

To insure that smiles always shine their brightest, adults need to be visiting their neighborhood Albuquerque general dentist at least every six months in order to keep mouths clean and diagnose any dental problems before they can cause harm to your smile. Our fully licensed professionally trained team at the offices of TruCare Dental provide personal and attentive oral health care that works to meet your unique personal and oral health needs. Our state of the art offices are always open late for your convenience. With regular cleanings and exams at TruCare Dental you can insure a beautiful smile for life.
