Strengthen Teeth With Fluoride
If your teeth are prone to cavities, our dentists might recommend a fluoride treatment.

Fluoride is found naturally in water and many foods. Even though you receive some fluoride through your diet and from using fluoridated toothpaste, our dentists may still recommend a professional fluoride treatment to further prevent cavities and strengthen your teeth.
Fluoride treatment plays a crucial role in strengthening your teeth and safeguarding them from cavities. Throughout the day, tooth enamel is constantly battling attacks from bacteria, acids, and sugars, leading to demineralization. Fluoride works to remineralize this enamel, effectively strengthening your teeth against decay. This treatment is also beneficial for strengthening developing teeth, making it particularly important for children whose permanent teeth are emerging.
Our dentists may suggest a fluoride treatment during your regular cleaning and exam appointment. Professional fluoride is available in various forms, including gel, varnish, or foam. Additional fluoride treatment may be recommended if your teeth are especially susceptible to cavities or if your intake of fluoride from other sources is insufficient. We invite you to contact our office today to learn more about fluoride and schedule your next visit.
