ABOUT FLUORIDE TREATMENTS
For many decades, fluoride has been known for its beneficial impact on dental health and is especially recommended and helpful for children and adults who are at higher risk of decay.
While there is a small amount of fluoride in most drinking water and some foods, fluoride treatments are the quickest way to prevent tooth decay. They’re also extremely beneficial for people who have lost mineralization in their teeth due to a diet that hasn’t been helpful to their tooth enamel.
BENEFITS OF FLUORIDE TREATMENTS
Fluoride treatments can:
- Re-mineralize tooth enamel
- Restore strength to existing tooth enamel
- Shorten the time needed to re-mineralize fully erupted teeth
FLUORIDE TREATMENT PROCESS
Fluoride is applied to the mouth and teeth through the application of a foam, gel, or varnish with teeth trays that are fitted for your mouth. The solution remains on the teeth for a short time, and when the tray is removed, we advise you to not rinse, eat or drink for at least 30 minutes in order for teeth to absorb the treatment properly. Fluoride application is a quick, simple, and painless treatment that can be completed in a single visit to our Fairfield dental office.
