Fluoride Treatment: Strengthening Your Smile’s Natural Defenses

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that plays a vital role in maintaining strong, cavity-resistant teeth. While many daily products contain fluoride, our professional-grade treatments provide a much higher concentration to effectively “recharge” your enamel. This quick, painless application is one of the most effective ways to reverse early microscopic decay and provide a long-lasting shield against the acids and bacteria that cause cavities.

The Core Benefits of Fluoride Treatment

Remineralizes Weakened Enamel

Restores essential minerals to the tooth surface, repairing early-stage decay before it becomes a cavity.

Long-Lasting Cavity Defense

The professional varnish adheres to the teeth, providing a slow-release protective barrier that continues to work long after your visit.

Reduces Tooth Sensitivity

Strengthens the enamel layer to block external triggers, providing relief from pain caused by hot or cold foods.

Essential for All Ages

While critical for developing children's teeth, it is equally beneficial for adults with receding gums or dry mouth.
Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Is professional fluoride necessary for adults?
Yes, especially for adults with a history of frequent cavities, gum recession, or dry mouth, which can leave teeth more vulnerable to decay.
How often should I get a fluoride treatment?
Most patients benefit from an application every six months during their routine cleaning, though high-risk patients may benefit from more frequent visits.
Can I eat or drink after the treatment?
We typically recommend waiting 30 minutes before eating or drinking anything hot to allow the fluoride varnish to fully absorb into your enamel.
Is fluoride safe?
When applied by a dental professional, fluoride is a safe and highly effective mineral treatment that has been a standard in preventive dentistry for decades.
Does it change the look of my teeth?
Not at all. The varnish is clear or tooth-colored and becomes invisible once applied, so you can leave your appointment with a natural-looking smile.
