Our experienced dentists may recommend a fluoride treatment to help strengthen your tooth enamel and safeguard your smile from cavities. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral and can be found in many foods and water supplies. However, if the fluoride you receive from your diet and from using fluoridated toothpaste is not sufficient, you could benefit from receiving a professional fluoride treatment in our office.
As you go about your day, the bacteria, sugars and acids in your mouth attack and demineralize your tooth enamel. Fluoride works to remineralize this enamel, strengthening it and making your teeth less susceptible to decay. Fluoride plays a particularly vital role for children, as it helps ensure that emerging teeth are robust and well-formed, laying the groundwork for a healthy dental future.
Fluoride treatments are often provided as part of your routine dental checkups. This treatment is quick and comfortable to complete. It is a proactive step towards maintaining your oral health, complementing your oral hygiene routine at home as well as the other preventive treatments available in our office. Fluoride treatment is available in the form of a gels, varnishes and foams, tailored to meet your individual needs.
