Added Protection Against
Tooth Decay
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect teeth from decay. Although fluoride is found in many toothpastes and some public water supplies, certain patients may benefit from an additional professional application.
At Elison Dentistry, fluoride treatment is a quick and comfortable preventive service that can be included as part of a routine dental visit.
Who May Benefit from Fluoride Treatment?
Professional fluoride treatment may be recommended for patients who:
- Frequently develop cavities
- Have weakened or worn tooth enamel
- Experience dry mouth
- Have exposed tooth roots or gum recession
- Wear braces or other dental appliances
- Have crowns, bridges, or other restorations
- Consume a diet high in sugars or acids
- Have difficulty maintaining consistent oral hygiene
Dr. Tyler Elison will evaluate your oral health and determine whether fluoride treatment would provide meaningful protection for your smile.
What to Expect During Treatment
Fluoride is applied directly to the teeth as a concentrated varnish, gel, or foam. The application takes only a few minutes and does not require drilling, injections, or recovery time.
After treatment, our team will provide simple instructions regarding eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing so the fluoride has time to provide the greatest benefit.
