Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride treatment is a preventive dental procedure that helps to protect teeth from decay and damage caused by bacteria and plaque. Fluoride treatment is offered at a dentist clinic to help prevent cavities and strengthen enamel. Fluoride works by restoring the mineral content of your teeth, providing an extra barrier that prevents bacteria and plaque from settling in and causing damage.

The process of getting a fluoride treatment is simple. A dentist will first apply a fluoride gel, foam, or varnish to your teeth. The fluoride is applied in a controlled manner to ensure that it is evenly distributed. After the fluoride is applied, you will be asked to wait a few minutes while it is absorbed by your teeth. The dental staff may ask you to not eat or drink for a certain period of time, usually 30 minutes, to allow the fluoride to fully absorb.

Fluoride treatments can be beneficial for people of all ages. For children, it can help to protect their developing teeth from cavities and decay. For adults, it can help to reduce the risk of cavities and other dental issues. It can also help to reduce sensitivity and discomfort caused by exposed roots.

Overall, fluoride treatments are an important part of preventive dental care. If you are interested in learning more about fluoride treatments, contact our office today.
