What Is a Fluoride Treatment?
Protective Dental Care to Fortify Your Enamel
Fluoride treatments are a simple yet powerful preventive dental service designed to strengthen tooth enamel and help fight cavities. Fluoride, a natural mineral, plays a crucial role in remineralizing weakened areas of your teeth, making them more resistant to acid attacks from plaque and sugary foods. At Fortson Dentistry, we apply professional-strength fluoride in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish during your routine dental visit.
This treatment is fast, painless, and highly effective for both children and adults. While fluoride is present in some toothpaste and tap water, professional fluoride treatments provide higher concentrations and longer-lasting protection against decay.
Why Do I Need a Fluoride Treatment?
Prevention Now Means Fewer Dental Problems Later
Even with regular brushing and flossing, your teeth are exposed to acids daily that weaken enamel and promote cavities. Fluoride treatments provide an extra layer of defense, especially if you’re prone to tooth decay, have sensitive teeth, or wear dental restorations such as crowns or fillings.
Children, teens, and adults can all benefit from fluoride treatments. For kids, it helps protect developing teeth, while for adults, it reduces sensitivity and strengthens enamel that may wear down over time. Regular fluoride care from your General Dentistry provider is an easy way to protect your smile for years to come.
