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.

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.
