Tooth enamel is regularly exposed to acids in the mouth, which can weaken its surface over time. This process may increase sensitivity and raise the risk of decay. Fluoride treatment helps strengthen enamel and support ongoing oral health.
At the Centre for Advanced Dentistry & Implantology, fluoride treatments form part of preventive dental care. The aim is to reinforce enamel strength and reduce the likelihood of future damage.
What is a fluoride treatment?
A fluoride treatment involves applying a concentrated fluoride solution directly to the teeth. This supports the natural repair process of enamel and helps protect the tooth surface from acid exposure.
The treatment is carried out during a routine dental visit and is generally well-tolerated.
Who may benefit from fluoride treatment?
Fluoride treatment may be recommended if you experience tooth sensitivity or have a history of cavities. It may also be advised when additional enamel support is needed between routine check-ups.
Your dentist will assess your oral health and advise whether fluoride treatment is appropriate for you.
What can you expect during treatment?
The fluoride solution is applied to the teeth using a gel or varnish and left in place briefly to allow absorption. After treatment, you may be advised to avoid eating or drinking for a short period so the fluoride can take full effect.
