Fluoride Treatments.
At Brighter Smiles Niagara, we are committed to providing high-quality, personalized dental hygiene care that caters to your unique needs. Our fluoride treatments are an essential part of our preventive care services, designed to keep your teeth healthy and strong.
What is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps to strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay and cavities. Fluoride treatments involve the application of a fluoride gel, foam, or varnish to the surface of your teeth. This treatment provides a concentrated dose of fluoride, which enhances the protection of your enamel and helps to prevent tooth decay.
Benefits of Fluoride Treatments
Strengthens Tooth Enamel: Fluoride helps to remineralize and fortify tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars.
Prevents Tooth Decay: Regular fluoride treatments can significantly reduce your risk of developing cavities, keeping your teeth healthier for longer.
Enhances Oral Health: Fluoride treatments are especially beneficial for children, who are at a higher risk of developing cavities due to their eating habits and developing oral hygiene routines.
Who Can Benefit from Fluoride Treatments?
Children and Adolescents: Fluoride treatments are particularly important for younger patients, as they are still developing their dental hygiene habits and may be more susceptible to cavities.
Adults: Adults can also benefit from fluoride treatments, especially if they have a history of cavities, gum disease, or are at higher risk for dental problems.
Individuals with Sensitive Teeth: Fluoride can help alleviate sensitivity and strengthen enamel, providing relief for those with sensitive teeth.
Our Fluoride Treatment Process
Evaluation: We start by assessing your oral health and determining if fluoride treatment is suitable for you.
Application: The fluoride is applied to your teeth using a brush, tray, or varnish. The procedure is quick and comfortable, usually taking just a few minutes.
Post-Treatment Care: We’ll provide guidance on post-treatment care, such as avoiding eating or drinking for a short period to allow the fluoride to fully absorb.
