What Is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride treatment is a preventive dental procedure that strengthens the enamel, the outer layer of your teeth, to protect against cavities and tooth decay. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps remineralize weakened areas of the teeth, making them more resistant to acid attacks from plaque and bacteria. Fluoride treatments are quick, painless and can be administered during routine dental check-ups.
Benefits of Fluoride Treatment
Dr. Huy Ngo and Dr. John Park recommend fluoride treatment for patients of all ages. Some of the key benefits include:
- Prevents Cavities: Fluoride helps strengthen enamel, reducing the risk of cavities and tooth decay.
- Reverses Early Decay: In the early stages, fluoride can reverse minor tooth decay by promoting the remineralization of enamel.
- Safe for All Ages: Fluoride treatments are safe for both children and adults, making it a valuable tool in maintaining long-term oral health.
- Quick and Easy: The treatment takes only a few minutes and can be applied during your regular dental visit.
The Fluoride Treatment Process
During a fluoride treatment, our dentists and team will apply a fluoride gel, foam or varnish directly to the teeth. This treatment strengthens your teeth and helps prevent future dental issues.
