Fluoride Treatments

There are a few reasons for needing fluoride treatments. First, you might benefit from treatment because you're more susceptible to decay. This is especially true among children and teens who might not necessarily brush and floss properly. For others, it's a way to strengthen their teeth along with using other methods and products at home.

The treatment process will begin by having you sit in one of our comfortable dental chairs. We then work on cleaning your teeth before applying the fluoride. A liquid fluoride is then brushed over the teeth. You will be instructed on how to care for your teeth after treatment. For most patients, they'll need to avoid eating and drinking for about an hour to allow the fluoride to fully penetrate the teeth. You can have these treatments done as often as they are needed, as some of our patients have treatment done every single time that they come into the office for either a cleaning or checkup and want to further protect their smile.
