Dental professionals will appreciate the practical advice on how to incorporate tooth creams, which offer the added bonus of desensitization, into their patient care routines.

 

Moreover, the conversation opens up about the financial aspects of fluoride therapy, revealing how some offices are successfully claiming medical benefits for these treatments.
