Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a natural mineral that plays a crucial role in protecting teeth from decay. We offer professional fluoride treatments as part of our comprehensive preventative care. These quick, painless treatments strengthen enamel and help keep cavities at bay for both kids and adults.
Why Is Fluoride Important?
Your teeth are constantly under attack from sugars, acids, and bacteria. Fluoride helps remineralize enamel, making your teeth more resistant to decay. While fluoride is commonly found in toothpaste and drinking water, professional applications provide a higher concentration for added protection.
Fluoride treatments are especially beneficial if you:
- Have a history of frequent cavities
- Experience dry mouth or take medications that reduce saliva
- Wear braces or dental appliances
- Have gum recession exposing tooth roots
- Are prone to sensitivity
What to Expect During Treatment
Fluoride treatments at our office are fast, easy, and completely comfortable. We apply a fluoride varnish or gel directly to your teeth and let it sit for a few minutes to take effect. You’ll be asked to avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes afterward.
Fluoride treatments are commonly recommended for children as their teeth develop, but adults can benefit too. In fact, adults are often more susceptible to gum recession and root exposure, which increases the risk of decay.
