Benefits of Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral known for its ability to protect and strengthen teeth. Regular fluoride treatments at Empire Dental can benefit patients of all ages by:
- Preventing Tooth Decay: Fluoride creates a protective barrier that reduces the risk of cavities.
- Strengthening Enamel: It helps remineralize enamel, making teeth more resistant to acid and decay.
- Reducing Sensitivity: Fluoride treatments can lessen sensitivity, providing relief from temperature-related discomfort.
Who Should Consider Fluoride Treatments?
Fluoride treatments are beneficial for everyone, especially those at higher risk of cavities, including:
- Children: As their teeth develop, fluoride helps strengthen enamel and prevent decay.
- Adults with Sensitivity: Fluoride can reduce enamel erosion and ease sensitivity.
- Patients with a History of Cavities: Fluoride is particularly helpful for those prone to cavities.
For children’s specific needs, you can learn more on our children's dentistry page.
What to Expect During a Fluoride Treatment
Empire Dental offers professional fluoride treatments as a quick, effective procedure during routine check-ups. Here’s what you can expect:
- Preparation: We’ll clean and examine your teeth to ensure fluoride is applied to clean enamel surfaces.
- Application: Fluoride gel, foam, or varnish is applied to your teeth. The process is comfortable and takes only a few minutes.
- Post-Treatment Care: Avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes to allow the fluoride to fully absorb.
