Why does Dr. Jones recommend fluoride treatments even though my insurance company says they may not be a covered benefit?
Regular use of fluoride in children makes tooth enamel harder and more resistant to the substances that cause tooth decay. Fluoride has also been proven to prevent tooth decay and root diseases in older adults. Fluoride is added to most public water supplies in safe amounts. Edmond’s water is not fluoridated do to it’s supply being a series of water wells. It can also be found in most toothpastes and mouth rinses. Any form helps to keep teeth strong. We strive to help all of our patients prevent tooth decay from occurring rather than only having the option to treat decayed areas later.
