Protect Your Teeth with Fast and Painless Nanohydroxyapatite Treatments
Nanohydroxyapatite, a naturally occurring mineral that closely resembles the structure of your tooth enamel, is an innovative and effective alternative to fluoride for maintaining oral health. This advanced treatment is designed to strengthen enamel, reduce sensitivity, and prevent tooth decay.
For individuals seeking an alternative to fluoride or for those who have been advised against fluoride use, Eagle Family Dental in Arlington, Washington, offers nanohydroxyapatite treatments. This modern approach, combined with regular dental hygiene and check-ups, is a reliable way to keep teeth healthy and decay-free. Let’s explore how nanohydroxyapatite treatments work to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for life!
What is Nanohydroxyapatite?
Nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp) is a form of calcium phosphate that is almost identical to the mineral component of human teeth and bones. When applied to the teeth, nHAp penetrates the enamel, helping to remineralize and repair microscopic damage caused by acidic foods, drinks, and harmful bacteria. This treatment also fills in the tiny pores and cracks in the enamel, creating a smoother, more resilient surface that is less prone to decay and sensitivity.
Why Should I Consider Nanohydroxyapatite Treatments for My Child?
For children transitioning from baby teeth to permanent teeth, nanohydroxyapatite offers significant protection against cavities and can help ensure strong, healthy enamel as they grow. This treatment is suitable for patients of all ages who seek a robust defense against dental decay.
What Happens During a Nanohydroxyapatite Treatment?
Similar to fluoride treatment, nanohydroxyapatite is applied to the teeth in a quick, painless procedure. In our office, we administer this treatment using a varnish method.
After your teeth are professionally cleaned, the nanohydroxyapatite varnish is gently brushed onto your teeth. The procedure takes only a few minutes. Once applied, the varnish begins to bond with your enamel, providing immediate protective benefits. You may notice a slight coating on your teeth, but it cannot be licked off.
For optimal results, we recommend waiting approximately 30 minutes before eating or drinking. Additionally, avoid brushing your teeth for at least six hours post-treatment to ensure the nanohydroxyapatite fully adheres to the enamel.
What Are the Benefits of Nanohydroxyapatite Treatments?
At Eagle Family Dental, we believe in the importance of preventive care for maintaining a lifetime of healthy smiles. Preventive dentistry helps avoid most dental problems before they become serious. The benefits of nanohydroxyapatite treatments include:
- Effective prevention against cavities
