What Is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps rebuild and protect tooth enamel. During a fluoride treatment, we apply a concentrated fluoride solution directly to your teeth. It only takes a few minutes, and the benefits last long after your appointment.

This simple, painless treatment helps reduce the risk of cavities and keeps your teeth strong—especially when combined with daily brushing, flossing, and regular checkups.

Who Should Get Fluoride Treatments?

Fluoride isn’t just for kids. While it’s especially important for growing smiles, patients of all ages can benefit from added cavity protection.

We may recommend fluoride treatment for:

Children and teens during growth stages
Adults prone to cavities or gum disease
Patients with exposed roots or enamel wear
Anyone wearing braces or aligners
Patients with dry mouth or reduced saliva flow
Individuals with a history of frequent cavities

Why Fluoride Matters

Fluoride helps prevent cavities by:

Re-mineralizing enamel that’s been weakened by acid

Slowing or even reversing early signs of tooth damage
Supporting long-term oral health with minimal effort

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Fluoride treatment is fast, easy, and completely painless.

Cleaning

We begin with a professional dental cleaning to remove plaque and ensure your teeth are ready to absorb the fluoride.

Application

Fluoride is applied as a varnish or gel directly to the surface of your teeth. It sets quickly and starts working immediately.

Aftercare

We recommend waiting 30 minutes before eating or drinking, so the fluoride has time to fully absorb into your enamel.

That’s it! You’re free to go about your day with a stronger, healthier smile.
