What Are Fluoride Treatments?

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps rebuild weakened enamel and reverse early signs of tooth decay. Professional fluoride treatments use a concentrated form of fluoride that’s applied to your teeth in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish. These treatments are stronger than over-the-counter options like toothpaste or mouthwash and offer enhanced protection, especially for patients at higher risk of cavities.

Benefits of Fluoride Treatments
  • Cavity prevention—Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening tooth enamel and making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque and bacteria.
  • Essential for growing smiles – Children and teens benefit significantly from fluoride, especially during the formative years when their teeth are still developing.
  • Reverses early decay—Fluoride can remineralize soft spots on teeth before they turn into cavities, helping you avoid more invasive treatments.
  • Reduces tooth sensitivity—For patients with sensitive teeth, fluoride can help strengthen enamel and reduce discomfort from hot, cold, or sweet foods.
  • Cost-effective protection – Preventive care like fluoride treatments can save you money by reducing the need for fillings, crowns, or root canals later.
Who Should Get Fluoride Treatments?
  • Children and teens
  • Adults with a history of cavities
  • Patients with dry mouth (xerostomia)
