These treatments are quick, painless, and highly effective at combating tooth decay for patients of all ages.
Get Started
Cavity Prevention: Fluoride helps to rebuild and strengthen tooth enamel, reducing the risk of cavities.
Restores Minerals to Tooth Surfaces: It helps in remineralizing areas where harmful bacteria may have started to erode the tooth enamel.
Safe and Effective: Fluoride treatments are a safe and effective method to enhance dental health, especially for children who are still developing their permanent teeth.
Thorough Cleaning: Teeth will be professionally cleaned before applying fluoride to ensure its effectiveness.
Application: The fluoride, usually in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish, is applied to the teeth and left in place for several minutes.
Completion: After the treatment, patients may be advised to not rinse, eat, or drink for at least 30 minutes to allow the teeth to absorb the fluoride fully.
Frequency of Treatments: Most patients benefit from fluoride treatments every six months, but we may recommend more frequent treatments depending on your oral health status.
Combining with Regular Dental Visits: Incorporate fluoride treatments into your regular dental check-ups to maintain optimal oral health.
Tailored Advice: Our team will provide personalized advice on additional ways to support enamel strengthening, such as using fluoride-enriched toothpaste and mouthwash at home.
