A Key Tool In Fighting Cavities
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a key tool in fighting cavities for patients of all ages. While many communities add fluoride to their water supply and it occurs naturally in foods like spinach, tomatoes, and pickles, professional fluoride treatments offer a stronger level of protection.
These treatments help strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. They’re especially helpful for children, teens, and anyone at higher risk of cavities. Quick, painless, and affordable, fluoride treatments are often applied during your routine dental cleaning and can be an easy way to keep your teeth stronger between visits.
Procedure Overview
We Offer Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is one of the most effective ways to protect teeth from decay, and we’re proud to offer professional fluoride treatments right here in our office. These treatments are especially important for kids, whose teeth are still developing and are more prone to cavities. We typically apply fluoride during regular six-month cleanings using a safe gel, foam, rinse, or varnish that helps strengthen enamel and defend against harmful bacteria.
While children benefit greatly from fluoride as their hygiene habits are still forming, adults who are at higher risk of tooth decay may also be great candidates for regular fluoride treatments. This includes patients with a history of frequent cavities, dry mouth, or certain medical conditions.
In addition to in-office treatments, we always recommend brushing twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste to help maintain strong enamel between visits. This simple step, combined with professional care, is a powerful way to keep your teeth healthy and resilient at every age.
