Fluoride is a key component found in dental products like toothpaste and mouthwashes. It is designed to protect and strengthen teeth, reducing the risk of cavities. In addition to daily fluoride use, we provide professional fluoride treatments for extra protection for your smile. These treatments are beneficial for both adults and children.
Why Might You Need Fluoride Treatments?
There are several reasons why you might need fluoride treatments. For starters, individuals prone to tooth decay can benefit from extra protection. This is especially important for children and teens who may not always brush and floss effectively. For others, fluoride treatments complement other home care methods, further strengthening tooth enamel.
Who Is a Candidate for Fluoride Treatments?
At Melissa Dental Studio, we assess each patient’s needs during a thorough examination to determine if fluoride treatments are suitable. While children often benefit from these treatments to maintain their oral health, most patients can also reap the advantages. Treatments can be tailored to meet individual dental needs and can be scheduled as necessary. Most patients can receive these treatments as frequently as needed.
What to Expect During Fluoride Treatments?
The treatment process begins with you comfortably seated in our dental chair. After cleaning your teeth, we apply a liquid fluoride solution carefully to your teeth. You’ll receive post-treatment care instructions, including refraining from eating or drinking for about an hour to allow the fluoride to fully penetrate the teeth. Many patients opt to include fluoride treatments during routine cleanings or checkups to enhance smile protection.
