GLASS IONOMER FILLINGS RELEASE FLUORIDE
FLUORIDE RELEASING RESTORATIONS
THERE ARE INSTANCES WHEN A FILLING MATERIAL CAN HELP HEAL AND ACTIVELY PREVENT ADDITIONAL CAVITIES FROM FORMING. THESE MATERIALS ARE IN A FAMILY CALLED RESIN-MODIFIED GLASS IONOMERS THAT ACTUALLY RELEASE FLUORIDE AFTER THEY ARE PLACED. THE FLUORIDE CAN STIMULATE THE TOOTH TO HEAL ITSELF AND ALSO ENSURE SMALL STARTS OF CAVITIES DON'T GET ANY LARGER.
