• Reverses early decay: Fluoride can help repair the early stages of tooth decay before it develops into a cavity.
• Safe and painless: The procedure is quick, painless, and safe for both children and adults.
• Long-lasting protection: Fluoride treatment effects can last for several months, offering ongoing protection against tooth decay.

By choosing fluoride treatments, you’re taking an essential step in safeguarding your oral health and ensuring that your teeth remain strong and cavity-free for years to come.

Fluoride treatments are suitable for almost anyone looking to boost their oral health and prevent tooth decay, but the best candidates for fluoride treatments typically include:

• Children and teenagers: Fluoride is especially beneficial for young people as their teeth develop, helping to prevent cavities and strengthen enamel.
• Adults with a history of cavities: Those who are prone to tooth decay or have a history of cavities can greatly benefit from the extra protection fluoride provides.
• People with braces or dental appliances: Fluoride treatments can help protect teeth from decay and damage caused by braces, retainers, or other dental appliances.
• Individuals with dry mouth: Dry mouth can reduce saliva production, which is crucial for protecting teeth. Fluoride treatments can help mitigate the increased risk of decay.
• Anyone with receding gums: When gums recede, teeth are more susceptible to root decay. Fluoride helps to protect these exposed areas.

After the application, you may be advised not to eat or drink for about 30 minutes to ensure the fluoride fully absorbs and provides the maximum benefit. This easy and efficient treatment is designed to help protect your teeth against cavities and decay.
