WHAT IS FLUORIDE TREATMENT?

Fluoride treatment is a quick, painless procedure to fortify your teeth against cavities and decay. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that strengthens enamel—the protective outer layer of your teeth. During the procedure, a concentrated fluoride gel, foam, or varnish is applied directly to your teeth, offering an added layer of defense.

RISK FACTORS THAT CALL FOR FLUORIDE TREATMENT

Certain factors can increase your risk of tooth decay and make fluoride dental care a necessity. These factors include:

  • High sugar consumption
  • Poor oral hygiene habits
  • Dry mouth conditions
  • History of cavities or gum disease


You can protect and strengthen your teeth by addressing these risks with fluoride benefits.

Many patients are surprised at the large amount of surface area that we examine during an oral exam. At every hygiene visit, we examine all the tissues of your mouth, including gums, cheeks, lips, tongue, and jaw.

It is just as important to have regular soft tissue screenings as it is to have a professional dental cleaning.
Oral cancer can afflict anyone, although tobacco users put themselves at a significantly higher risk than non-users. Chewing tobacco has up to 3000 different chemicals, including the same compounds used in pesticides and embalming fluid.

Cellular changes below the surface aren’t always detectable until they’ve advanced to a critical stage.Early detection and treatment of oral cancer can significantly increase your chances of a quick and complete recovery. The American Cancer Society reports that about 7,000 deaths result from oral cancer out of 30,000 cases diagnosed annually.

Oral cancer often develops silently, presenting no apparent symptoms in its early stages. Our dentists at North Texas Family and Cosmetic Dentistry utilize oral cancer awareness tactics so that even regular screenings allow abnormalities to be detected early, improving treatment outcomes and significantly reducing risks.

SYMPTOMS THAT INDICATE A NEED FOR FLUORIDE CARE

‘‘ Dr. Callier saved one of my teeth. It was a back molar needed for chewing. The tooth was severely decayed; however he pulled out all the stops and was able to save it. It was excellent dentistry all the way. They went over the follow up care to make sure I would be able to take care of the “saved” tooth. I can definitely recommend North Texas Dentistry to anyone needing dental services. ’’

LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR DENTAL HEALTH​

Fluoride treatments offer long-lasting protection, but the duration of effectiveness depends on individual oral health habits and dietary factors. Typically, a fluoride varnish can protect your teeth for several months. Regular reapplications every three to six months during dental visits are recommended for optimal protection. This ensures your enamel remains fortified against cavities and decay over time. Pair fluoride treatment with consistent brushing and flossing to maximize its benefits.
Fluoride treatment is suitable for patients of all ages, from young children to older adults. For children, fluoride varnish is recommended starting from the first tooth’s eruption or by the age of 12 months. This is essential during their formative years to protect developing teeth. Adults with weakened enamel or enamel that’s significantly prone to decay, can greatly benefit from fluoride treatments. Your dentist will determine the appropriate frequency and method based on your unique dental needs.
The frequency of fluoride treatments depends on your oral health history and risk factors for cavities. Most dental professionals suggest fluoride applications every three, six, or twelve months. More frequent treatments may be advised for patients at higher risk of tooth decay—such as those with a history of cavities, dry mouth, or orthodontic appliances. Incorporating fluoride treatment into your bi-annual dental cleanings ensures comprehensive oral care and prevention.
While fluoride is often associated with children, adults too can benefit from regular treatments. Fluoride strengthens enamel, helps prevent cavities, and aids in remineralization by restoring essential minerals to areas of demineralization. Adults with gum recession, sensitivity, or a history of dental work like crowns or bridges can significantly benefit from fluoride treatments, as these conditions often expose teeth to higher risks of decay.
Yes, fluoride treatment is entirely safe when administered by a dental professional. The amount of fluoride used during the procedure is carefully measured to ensure safety and effectiveness. If you have concerns about fluoride sensitivity or allergies, discuss them with your dentist so they can tailor the treatment to your needs. Professional fluoride treatments are a trusted and effective way to maintain oral health for patients of all ages.
