Fluoride Treatment
To strengthen enamel
Fluoride is a safe, naturally occurring mineral that helps prevent tooth decay. Fluoride helps protect and remineralize enamel, which reduces the likelihood of a cavity.
Your body takes in fluoride systemically through tap water and dietary fluoride supplement. It also absorbs fluoride topically via toothpaste, mouth rinses, and treatments at the dental office.
The Treatment
The treatment is completely painless and only takes a few minutes. The fluoride treatment is applied to your teeth using a swab or brush. You will then be instructed not to eat or drink for 30 minutes after the treatment has been applied in order for the teeth to absorb the fluoride.
Who should consider fluoride treatment?
It is highly suggested that children between ages 6 months and 16 years be exposed to fluoride, when their primary and permanent teeth are coming in. However, adults benefit from fluoride as well.
