Fluoride Treatment

What is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride treatment is a dental procedure that involves applying a concentrated form of fluoride to the teeth to help prevent cavities and strengthen enamel. Fluoride can be applied as a gel, foam, or varnish and is typically used after professional cleanings. It works by remineralizing weakened enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Fluoride treatments are commonly recommended for children but can also benefit adults, especially those with a higher risk of tooth decay due to factors like dry mouth, poor oral hygiene, or frequent consumption of sugary foods.
