Tooth decay is caused by acid-producing bacteria called plaque, which will collect around your teeth and gums. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits are helpful to get rid of a lot of this plaque, but fluoride treatments help prevent plaque and can repair teeth in the earliest stages of tooth decay. Below are some factors that increase your risk of tooth decay and increase the need for fluoride treatment: -Poor oral hygiene -Lack of regular professional dental care -Active orthodontic treatments -Exposed root surfaces of teeth -Poor diet Existing restorations
"Most people have a family dentist. Someone you call to schedule a cleaning or address a tooth problem. I live quite a distance from Bend and recently had a sudden dental need. I reached out to Dr. Dondo who worked me into his busy schedule and rescued me! He had me on my way with a painless fix! A dentist who "pivots quickly" to make room for a first time patient deserves high praise!! Is it too much to say I may move to Bend because I know a great dentist?! Don't tempt me! Grateful for you Dr. Dondo!!"
