At Parkway Family Dental, we offer fluoride treatments to help protect and strengthen your teeth. Fluoride is a natural mineral found in food and water that restores and reinforces tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay.
What Is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride treatments replenish this essential mineral to your teeth, replacing the minerals lost due to bacteria, acids, and sugars. This process strengthens your enamel, preventing cavities and protecting against decay.
Who Benefits from Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride treatments are commonly recommended for:
- Children as a preventive measure to protect growing teeth.
- Adults who are prone to cavities or suffer from tooth sensitivity.
- Fluoride deficiency can prevent patients from naturally obtaining enough fluoride to protect their teeth.
Fluoride is applied at our office in the form of gel, varnish, or foam. The treatment is quick, comfortable, and typically completed in one visit. Additionally, fluoride is also found in American Dental Association®-approved toothpastes for at-home care.
Benefits of Fluoride Treatment
- Strengthens enamel: Reinforces teeth against decay and damage.
- Prevents cavities: Protects teeth from harmful bacteria and acids.
- Long-lasting protection: Supports oral health for both children and adults.
If you experience tooth sensitivity or frequent cavities despite good oral hygiene, fluoride treatment may be the perfect solution to bolster your smile.
