FAQs About Fluoride Treatment at Spruce Grove Dental
What is fluoride treatment, and how does it work?
Fluoride treatment involves applying a concentrated form of fluoride to your teeth to strengthen enamel and make it more resistant to decay. It works by replenishing minerals lost to acid erosion and can even reverse early signs of tooth decay.
Who should consider fluoride treatments?
Fluoride treatments are beneficial for everyone, but they are especially recommended for children, adults prone to cavities, individuals with weakened enamel, and patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, such as Invisalign.
Is fluoride treatment safe for children?
Yes, fluoride treatments are completely safe for children when applied professionally. They help strengthen developing teeth and prevent cavities, making it a key part of pediatric dental care.
How often should I get fluoride treatment?
The frequency of fluoride treatments depends on your oral health needs. Most patients benefit from treatments every six months during their routine dental visits. However, individuals at higher risk for decay may require more frequent applications.
