How Does Fluoride Protect Teeth?

Fluoride benefits both children and adults. Here’s how:

Before teeth break through the gums, the fluoride taken in from foods, beverages and dietary supplements makes tooth enamel (the hard surface of the tooth) stronger, making it easier to resist tooth decay. This provides what is called a “systemic” benefit.

After teeth erupt, fluoride helps rebuild weakened tooth enamel and reverses early signs of tooth decay. When you brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste, or use other fluoride dental treatment by your dentist, the fluoride is applied to the surface of your teeth. This provides what is called a “topical” benefit.

At Dentist At PlumCreek, when always encourage our High Caries risk patients to look in to professional fluoride treatment. Also, we keep our fees for preventive services lower than area average so people can afford it.

Professional Fluoride treatment involves placing Fluoride varnish on your teeth or making custom fluoride trays or prescribing stronger fluoride tooth-paste or combination of all of them.

    Very friendly and through. Was able to fill out paperwork online so the day of the appointment I checked in and just waited to be called. I arrived early and was in a room 10 minutes before my scheduled appointment time. Assistants explained each process before starting as well as explaining what they could see. Dr D was friendly, soft spoken and calm. There was a break down of payment for procedures and payment options. Also scheduling follow up appointment was easy. Offices were nice and clean with tv screens on the ceiling so you could watch Netflix while being worked on.

    Best experience at a dentist's office to date! The staff were pleasant and extremely polite. No sales push! The Dr., Dr. D, took his time, made sure that I understood what he was checking and why, and then laid out a treatment plan for me! Did I mention the patient rooms... I almost forgot that I was getting a check up because I was watching NatGeo on the ceiling! Highly recommend! (I had 5:30 appointment time that really fit in to my work schedule).

    Dr. Dholariya And Cecily are just Excellent. Almost no wait time even though this was a last minute appointment. Friendly bedside manner during the cleaning (which he doesn't hand off to a hygienist/assistant). Explained the issues well and both he and his xray assistant were conscious of insurance covering a full panel. So nice to see they have my back instead of randomly doing treatments outside of what's covered. No surprise bills, yay! 10/10 would go highly recommend them! I have tried others in the area and they don't even compare. Others in this area are not serving the people's best interest where Dr. Dholariya does! Thank you all for treating my husband and I so well!

    I needed a wisdom tooth removed asap that just grew in. I was in so much pain and saw that they do in house removal so I set an appointment on Saturday for Monday. They have a specialist who comes in to do wisdom teeth removal and I happened to get lucky and be there on a day he was there and was able to have my tooth removed a couple hours later.From the moment I got there to the moment I left I had a great experience with the staff and Dr. D. They were kind and very understanding. Even when it looked like things were getting behind and I wouldn't be seen, one of the ladies there got the traveling doctor (Doctor Jake) to still see me and get it removed. The traveling doctor/specialist Dr Jake and his staff was super friendly and had my tooth out on seconds I couldn't believe it. Afterwards I didn't take my pain meds immediately because I was still waiting on Walgreens and so the pain was horrible. I ended up going back to the office to make sure everything was okay, they were super patient with me. What I was experiencing was super normal which is why they say to take the medicine right when you get it but they were kind enough to bring me in the back, x-ray and check on the area to give me peace of mind. Again, just great bed side manner, and kindness. Also they offer an in house Dental Service Plan membership if you don't have insurance (which we don't), so we signed up for that. It's better than when we did have insurance. Super excited to be on a regular schedule there and to get both my kids in. My husband is scheduled for an appointment later this week. All around one of the best experiences for dental.

    I had a dental emergency and my usual dentist was closed (On a Friday???). When I called, they said that they were able to help me right away. Kyle Parkway Dentistry operates professionally, efficiently and friendly. From Lexi the receptionist to Dr. Z, the whole experience was great! I recommend them to everyone!

    I had a very good experience with Lauren (Lo) at Kyle Parkway Dentistry today. She worked diligently & carefully on my cleaning. Also she was able to help me get to the right front desk person & I got good news about my insurance there. Dr. McConnell is always very honest & professional which I appreciate also.

  • I had an amazing experience today at Kyle Parkway Denistry. The office was very beautiful and the staff was welcoming. The check in process was fast and easy. Although I am not the most comfortable at the Denist’s office, I had a great visit and thorough cleaning. I immediately booked my next appointment and will be booking my family members in the near future. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Dholariya!

  • I have had a great experience with KPD. I had not been to the dentist for several years due to anxiety. Dr. D and Hygienist Paul have been so kind and put me at ease. Also had my wisdom test removed in office, (highly recommend sedation for this ) the procedure was quick and luckily I barely had any pain. I’ve overcome my fear of the dentist :)

    I changed dental offices due to the fact that my insurance at work changed and I am glad that it happened. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Kyle parkway dentistry. The staff were amazing from the time I walked through the door until I left. Everybody was so kind and friendly. They made me feel at home in every way. I usually get nervous at the dentist but this was a great experience for me. If anybody is looking for a new dentist office I suggest trying out Kyle parkway dentistry. I believe it would be great for the whole family.

  • When our dentist retired after 35+ years with him, had to find a new dentist and Kyle Parkway Dentistry was recommended to me by a friend. Made an appointment with a cracked tooth on Friday for following Monday and was actually called and seen earlier, on Saturday. Office and staff was very nice and felt welcomed. Exam and cleaning was great and everything was explained in a clear way. Very warm environment and liked watching TV while laying down! I think I made a good choice!

    The office is very clean, and the staff is absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this dental clinic to anyone who is searching for a great dental care... Best of all they are open on Saturdays which works out perfectly for me, because I work in Austin and am not able to take off during the week.

    I went in for a basic cleaning and the receptionists at the front desk were very friendly. I didn't have to wait long to be called back for my appointment. The hygienists and the dentist were friendly as well, they took some time before and after looking at my tooth to chat and ask how things are going.

    The exam room had a television on the ceiling. One of the hygienists offered to put on a show from Netflix for me to watch during the exam and cleaning. After the cleaning, the dentist followed up with me on recommendations and took his time to make sure that all of my questions were answered.

    Overall, I was very pleased with my appointment. I have gone to Kyle Parkway Dentistry a few times in the past, and those visits went really well too.

  • Soo after about a week searching for a new dentist, I came across Kyle Parkway Dentistry and I'm sooo glad I did. I had the most ahhmazing experience from the time I entered the door until the time I left. The wait time was maybe two-three mins max, the staff were very nice, professional & helpful!!! Now mind you I'm terrified of dental appts, but for some reason I felt sooooo relaxed in that chair. The atmosphere was very calming and just felt like I was at hm in my recliner LOL!! I TOTALLLLLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYBODY LOOKING!!!!

    Great first appointment! Definitely making Kyle Parkway Dentistry my dental provider from here on. They went above and beyond any other dentist office I’ve been to before to provide comprehensive health and teeth cleaning services. Plus, they prioritize their patients’ comfortability through how they’ve designed their waiting and exam rooms. My oral health is in good hands!
