Fluoride is a natural mineral that plays a crucial role in strengthening tooth enamel and fighting tooth decay. At our practice, we believe in the preventive power of fluoride treatments for patients of all ages. Our dentist and team are dedicated to providing comprehensive dental care that includes the use of fluoride to help protect your teeth against cavities and enhance your oral health.
The Benefits of Fluoride Treatment
Incorporating fluoride treatments into your dental care routine offers several key benefits:
- Cavity Prevention: Fluoride helps rebuild weakened tooth enamel and reverses early signs of tooth decay.
- Strengthening Teeth: By remineralizing tooth surfaces, fluoride treatments make your teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars.
- Safe for All Ages: Fluoride treatments are beneficial and safe for both children and adults, contributing to lifelong dental health.
How Does Fluoride Treatment Work?
At Douglas Pike Smiles, our fluoride treatment process is quick, easy and painless:
- Topical Application: Dr. Abhishek Kapoor applies a high concentration of fluoride to the teeth in the form of a gel, foam or varnish. This process takes just a few minutes.
- Immediate Results: The fluoride begins to work immediately, fortifying the tooth enamel against decay.
- Post-Treatment Care: Patients are advised to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes after treatment to allow the fluoride to fully absorb.
