FLUORIDE TREATMENTS

Fluoride Treatments

Our dental office offers treatment options for both adults and children. If there is a history of tooth decay or if the dentist sees tooth decay during the initial patient exam, a fluoride treatment plan may be recommended beyond brushing at home.

Topical Fluoride

Topical fluoride strengthens erupted teeth by infusing the mineral into the tooth enamel, strengthening the tooth. We will polish and dry your teeth before treatment.

Systemic Fluoride

Systemic fluoride treatments are for teeth that have erupted and for those teeth still under the gums. We offer tablets and drops for this type of fluoride treatment. The last word on fluoride is it helps with protecting the teeth by seeping into the enamel and drawing the calcium and phosphate that’s naturally present in the saliva.

The minerals in fluoride boost the teeth’s natural healing process and makes teeth more resistant to future decay.
