Treatment
Hydroxyapatite Fluoride Treatments
A protective treatment that helps strengthen enamel and calm sensitivity.
A hydroxyapatite and fluoride treatment coats your teeth with minerals that help rebuild and strengthen the outer layer of enamel.
After a cleaning, Dr. Perimenis applies the treatment to your teeth and lets it absorb, adding minerals back into the enamel surface.
Stronger enamel can better resist decay and often feels less sensitive to hot and cold.
