Fluoride Treatment Q & A

What are fluoride treatments?

Fluoride is present in food and water. It’s a nutrient that helps keep your teeth strong and inhibits bacterial growth – and your risk of cavities. Fluoride helps prevent decay from penetrating deeper into teeth and creates a stronger outer tooth surface. Paseo Ranch Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics offers a variety of fluoride treatments to keep your smile healthy.

What are the benefits of fluoride treatments?

Some of the many benefits associated with routine fluoride treatments at Paseo Ranch Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics include:

  • Stronger teeth
  • A lower risk of dental decay
  • Fewer oral health problems
  • Cost savings

Because fluoride treatments are preventative procedures, they can save you time and money in the long run.

Are fluoride treatments right for me?

To find out if you’re a good candidate for fluoride treatment, your Paseo Ranch Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics dentist reviews your oral health history and examines your teeth and gums.

Nearly everyone can benefit from fluoride treatments, even if you brush and floss your teeth regularly. Such treatments are especially useful if you have gum disease, dry mouth, frequent cavities, braces, or bridges.

What should I expect during treatment?

When you arrive at Paseo Ranch Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics for fluoride treatment, friendly staff members greet you. They might recommend you undergo dental X-rays prior to cleaning your teeth. After professional teeth cleaning, your dental provider applies fluoride gel or varnish to your teeth. Fluoride treatments are painless and last just a few minutes.

What happens after fluoride treatments?

After getting fluoride treatments at Paseo Ranch Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, avoid eating, drinking, and rinsing your mouth for a least 30 minutes. This allows the fluoride to better penetrate into teeth, repairing weak or decaying areas.

Return for additional fluoride treatments every three to six months, or annually as recommended by your dentist. Your personalized needs depend on your oral health status and preferences.

Care for your teeth at home by brushing at least twice daily using fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and seeing your dentist at least every six months for professional teeth cleanings and dental exams. Limit or avoid sweets, sodas, and other sugary drinks.

Take charge of your oral health by reducing your risk of cavities with fluoride treatments. Schedule an appointment with Paseo Ranch Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics by phone or online today.
