Fluoride Treatments
What are Fluoride Treatments?
Fluoride treatments are preventive dental procedures that strengthen tooth enamel and help protect against cavities. At Dental Care of Tewksbury, fluoride is applied to the teeth to make them more resistant to acid attacks from plaque and bacteria.
When are Fluoride Treatments Needed?
Fluoride treatments are recommended for children, teenagers, and adults who are at higher risk of tooth decay, have weak enamel, frequent cavities, or poor oral hygiene habits.
How It Works – Step by Step
- Dental Examination: Teeth are assessed to determine the need for fluoride protection.
- Cleaning the Teeth: Teeth are cleaned to remove plaque and debris.
- Fluoride Application: Fluoride gel, foam, or varnish is applied to the teeth surface.
- Quick Setting: The fluoride is allowed to absorb and strengthen the enamel.
After Treatment
Patients are advised to avoid eating or drinking for a short time. Fluoride begins protecting teeth immediately and helps prevent future cavities.
