Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is one of the most-studied substances in modern dentistry — and it works. A short professional fluoride treatment after your cleaning rebuilds and re-mineralizes the surface of your enamel, making it more resistant to decay.
How fluoride works
Fluoride binds with the calcium and phosphate in your enamel to form a stronger, more decay-resistant surface. It also disrupts the bacteria that cause cavities, slowing the production of acid that erodes teeth.
Who benefits most
Children and teens see the biggest benefit while their adult teeth are still strengthening. Adults with high decay risk, dry mouth, or new dental work also benefit from extra fluoride.
