Fluoride treatments are an essential part of dental health care, known for their ability to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay. At KB Smiles in Brentwood, TN, Dr. Keisha Brady and our caring dental team offer professional fluoride treatments as part of our preventive dental care services. These treatments are quick, painless, and highly effective at combating tooth decay for patients of all ages.
Get StartedCavity 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.
