We know you have a lot on your plate, and it’s easy to forget about your pearly whites. A fluoride treatment at our office can easily and effectively keep your teeth strong and healthy.
A fluoride treatment is a quick and painless dental procedure that involves applying a fluoride solution to your teeth to help prevent decay. Fluoride is a mineral that’s naturally found in many foods and water sources. It’s also added to toothpaste, mouthwash, and other dental products.
During your treatment, one of our friendly dental experts will apply a concentrated fluoride solution to your teeth using a brush, tray, or gel. Then, all you have to do is sit back and relax while the fluoride works its magic!
Fluoride treatments are a great option for kids and adults alike. The frequency of treatments will depend on your individual oral health needs, but they’re typically done every six months to a year. We recommend fluoride treatments for people with a high risk for tooth decay, such as those who have:
The purpose of a fluoride treatment is to help strengthen the tooth enamel and make it more resistant to decay-causing bacteria in your mouth. Fluoride can also help re-mineralize the areas of enamel that have been weakened by early-stage decay. This may potentially reverse the damage and prevent the need for more invasive dental procedures.
