What are the benefits of regular fluoride treatments?

Routine fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel and make teeth more resistant to cavities. Fluoride can also slow or reverse early stages of tooth decay and reduce sensitivity. These treatments are especially beneficial for children, patients prone to cavities, or those with dry mouth. Consistent fluoride use supports long-term oral health and helps protect teeth between dental visits.

What is the difference between professional fluoride and store-bought toothpaste?

Professional fluoride treatments contain a much higher concentration of fluoride than over-the-counter toothpaste. Toothpaste provides daily protection, while in-office fluoride treatments offer an added layer of defense by deeply strengthening enamel. Professional treatments are applied safely under supervision and are designed to deliver fast, effective results that cannot be achieved through toothpaste alone.

At what age can kids begin receiving fluoride treatments?

Children can begin receiving fluoride treatments as soon as their first teeth erupt, typically around age one. Early fluoride exposure helps strengthen developing enamel and protect baby teeth from decay. We tailor fluoride use based on a child’s age, cavity risk, and overall oral health to ensure safe and effective preventive care.

Are fluoride treatments safe?

Fluoride treatments are safe when applied appropriately by dental professionals. We carefully control the amount used and customize treatment based on age and individual risk factors. Fluoride has been extensively studied and proven effective in preventing cavities. When combined with proper home care, professional fluoride treatments are a safe and valuable part of preventive dentistry.
