Your teeth are exposed to acids from food, drinks, and bacteria every day. These acids can gradually weaken the outer layer of your teeth, known as enamel. Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and supports the natural process that restores minerals to areas that have started to weaken.
A professional fluoride treatment delivers a concentrated amount of fluoride directly to the teeth. It is a simple preventive service that can complement regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.
Fluoride treatment is generally quick and can often be completed during a regular dental visit. Your dentist first considers your oral health and cavity risk to determine whether professional fluoride care is appropriate for you.
The fluoride product is then applied to the teeth according to your specific needs. Depending on the product used, you may receive simple instructions about eating, drinking, brushing, or other activities immediately after treatment. Following these instructions helps the treatment work as intended.
