Fluoride Treatments at Auburn Dental Center

A proactive approach to maintaining strong and healthy teeth.

‍

What are fluoride treatments?

Fluoride treatments are professional applications of fluoride, a natural mineral, to the teeth. This treatment helps to strengthen the enamel, making it more resistant to decay. It's a common procedure in both children’s dentistry and adult dental care.

Fluoride acts as a shield for the teeth, combating the acids produced by plaque and sugars in the mouth. Regular fluoride treatments can:

• Reduce the risk of cavities
• Slow down or reverse early signs of tooth decay
• Minimize tooth sensitivity

‍

Who should consider fluoride treatments?

While fluoride treatments are especially beneficial for children with developing teeth, adults can also benefit, particularly those with:

• A history of frequent cavities
• Exposed and sensitive root surfaces
• Poor oral hygiene habits
• Limited access to fluoridated water

The procedure is quick and painless. After a dental cleaning, a high-concentration fluoride gel or varnish is applied to the teeth. It's advised to avoid eating or drinking for a short period after the treatment to allow the fluoride to fully adhere. Explore our patient information for more details.
