The application of fluoride to your teeth is a very safe procedure when performed here at our office at Murphy Dental.
Side Effects of Fluoride
When fluoride is ingested or applied outside of the recommendations set forth by the CDC and ADA, side effects - most notably fluorosis - can occur. Teeth can be discolored and may cause teeth to have somewhat rough surfaces. Proper application of fluoride by a dentist (like Murphy Dental) will help you to avoid side effects like fluorosis.
