In-Office Fluoride Treatments Can Protect Your Smile

Professional fluoride treatments can help improve the overall health of your smile in several ways. First, fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay and cavities. In addition, it can also help reduce sensitivity and increase the overall whiteness of your teeth while also protecting them from the effects of acidity and plaque build-up.

What is fluoride and what happens during an in-office treatment?

Fluoride is a mineral that naturally occurs in water and soil, and it can also be added to drinking water, mouthwash, toothpaste, and other over-the-counter dental products.

When receiving a professional fluoride treatment at our office, we'll apply a concentrated form of fluoride to your teeth to strengthen your enamel and help prevent cavities and tooth decay in the short and long term.

These treatments can be applied via a gel, varnish, or foam, depending on your needs. It's important to note that patients who are at a higher risk for cavities and tooth decay may benefit from treatment every six months while those who have a lower risk of cavities may benefit from annual applications.

If you're considering an in-office fluoride application to prevent tooth decay and can also reverse early signs of decay, call us today! We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have and to schedule a consultation appointment.
