Fluoride Treatments

FLUORIDE TREATMENTS FOR TEETH PROTECTION

Fluoride treatments are an additional service available with dental cleanings at Setai Dental. While they come at an extra cost, fluoride treatments can help strengthen teeth and protect against cavities and decay. If you have concerns about plaque and tartar buildup, your dentist can discuss whether fluoride treatments are right for you.

Fluoride Treatments for Early Cavity Prevention

Fluoride treatments may help to strengthen enamel and prevent further progression of early-stage cavities, which appear as white or dark spots on the tooth surface. This treatment may assist in re-mineralizing the tooth and help maintain oral health.

Protecting Your Teeth

While getting a fluoride treatment is an additional expense, it can go a long way to protect teeth from future damage.

This can contribute to maintaining your oral health, potentially reducing the need for more extensive treatments in the future.

Applying the Flurodie Treatment

Fluoride treatment may be applied as foam, varnish, or gel. The dentist applies it using a brush, swab, tray, or as a rinse. The application process is quick, and the fluoride is left on the teeth to absorb. You should avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes after the treatment for optimal effectiveness. After this period, you can resume your regular oral care routine, including brushing and flossing.
