Fluoride, commonly present in dental products such as toothpaste and mouthwash, is formulated to fortify and shield teeth, reducing the likelihood of cavities. Despite regular fluoride use, our professional treatments provide additional safeguarding for your smile. Suitable for both adult and pediatric patients, fluoride treatments offer enhanced protection, ensuring optimal dental health for all.
Why might you need fluoride treatments?
At Sapphire Dental Home, there are various reasons why fluoride treatments might be advised. For one, they can be especially helpful for those prone to decay, particularly children and teenagers who may not yet have perfected their brushing and flossing techniques. Additionally, fluoride treatments can serve as an additional measure to bolster tooth strength alongside regular at-home oral care practices and products.
What makes someone a candidate for fluoride treatments?
At Sapphire Dental Home, we can readily assess if fluoride treatments suit your needs through a thorough examination. For children visiting our office, we often suggest fluoride treatments to maintain optimal oral health and enhance the appearance of their smiles. In reality, the majority of our patients stand to gain from these treatments, which can be administered as frequently as required to ensure lasting benefits.
What can you expect during fluoride treatments?
At Sapphire Dental Home under the care of Dr. Kaur, fluoride treatments are a straightforward and comfortable procedure aimed at enhancing the strength and resilience of your teeth. Typically, the process begins with a thorough cleaning of the teeth to ensure optimal fluoride absorption. Then, a concentrated fluoride solution is applied directly to the teeth, either through a gel, foam, or varnish, tailored to your specific needs. This application is quick and painless, taking only a few minutes to complete. Once applied, the fluoride is left to penetrate the enamel, bolstering its defenses against decay. Patients can relax throughout the procedure, knowing they are in the capable hands of our experienced team dedicated to delivering exceptional dental care with a gentle touch.
