Fluoride treatments play a key role in keeping your smile healthy and strong.
How Fluoride Protects Teeth
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps protect teeth from cavities by:
- Strengthening enamel – Makes teeth more resistant to acids that cause decay.
- Reversing early decay – Helps remineralize areas of weakened enamel.
- Supporting growing teeth – Protects both baby and permanent teeth for long-term oral health.
Professional Fluoride Treatments
During your checkup, we may recommend a fluoride application to provide extra protection against cavities. This treatment is:
- Fast & Painless – Completed in minutes.
- Applied as a Varnish – We use a new, water-based, resin-free formula that enables effective fluoride uptake with a minimum contact time of 15 minutes. The new formulation also does not feel sticky on your teeth, and won’t slow you down if you have meetings after your dental appointment. With improved fluoride uptake by the enamel, we are able to use lower product dosage with more effective results than previously possible.
A Preventive Step for Lifelong Oral Health
Fluoride is most effective when combined with regular dental visits, good brushing and flossing habits, and a healthy diet. Our goal is to provide the best preventive care so you may enjoy a strong, cavity-free smile for life!
