What Is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride treatment involves applying fluoride to the teeth, strengthening tooth enamel and aiding in the prevention of tooth decay. This treatment is available in different forms like gels, foams, or varnishes, commonly administered during dental cleanings or check-ups. By strengthening the enamel, fluoride boosts its ability to resist bacteria and sugars.

What to Expect

 

During your fluoride treatment appointment, our experienced dental team will first clean and dry your teeth to ensure optimal fluoride absorption. We’ll then apply the fluoride solution to your teeth using a brush, tray, or swab, depending on chosen method. The fluoride will be left on your teeth for a few minutes to allow for absorption before being rinsed off. You may be advised to avoid eating or drinking for a short period after treatment to maximize its effectiveness.
