What are the benefits of fluoride treatments?
Fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay and acid erosion. They can also reverse early stages of enamel weakening before a cavity forms. Fluoride reduces the risk of cavities, supports long-term oral health, and is especially helpful for patients with higher cavity risk, dry mouth, or gum recession. Fluoride treatments can be done at every routine visit or as requested by the patient.
Are fluoride treatments for kids and adults?
Fluoride treatments are beneficial for both kids and adults. Children benefit as their teeth develop, giving them extra protection against cavities. Adults with higher decay risk, sensitivity, or weakened enamel can also gain significant protection. Whether you’re 6 or 60, fluoride helps strengthen teeth and prevent future dental problems, making it a valuable preventive tool for kids and adults alike.
What is the difference between fluoride treatments and fluoride toothpaste?
Professional fluoride treatments contain a much higher concentration of fluoride than products available at your local store, allowing them to provide stronger and longer-lasting protection in just a few minutes. Over-the-counter toothpastes and mouthwashes are helpful for daily maintenance but are not as potent. Professional applications are designed to deeply penetrate and strengthen enamel, especially for patients at higher risk for decay.
Are fluoride treatments safe?
Professional fluoride treatments are safe when administered by dental professionals and used as directed. The amount of fluoride used in-office is carefully controlled and applied directly to the teeth, minimizing exposure. Fluoride has been widely studied and recommended by major dental and medical organizations for its proven benefits in preventing tooth decay. No matter why you want a fluoride treatment, professional fluoride is a safe and effective preventive measure.
