Fluoride treatment is a preventive measure designed to combat tooth decay, significantly benefiting your oral health. Fluoride is a mineral that fortifies tooth enamel, effectively reducing the risk of developing cavities. We recommend this treatment for all our patients to help lower the chances of infections and cavities, which can often lead to more costly procedures and restorations.
During your visit, our dentist will apply a fluoride varnish or gel to your teeth, a process that takes only a few minutes. Using a small brush, the fluoride is painted onto your teeth and then hardens upon contact with your saliva. To ensure the fluoride adheres properly, we advise avoiding hot foods and beverages and refraining from brushing or flossing for at least six hours after the treatment.
For optimal results, fluoride treatment can be administered every six to twelve months to maintain the strength of your tooth enamel and keep your smile in excellent condition.
