What Is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride treatments are a safe and effective way to strengthen your teeth and prevent cavities. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps remineralize tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugary foods. During a fluoride treatment at All Smiles Dental Studio, we apply a concentrated fluoride solution, gel, or varnish to your teeth. This quick and painless procedure can significantly boost your oral health and protect your smile for years to come.

Fluoride Treatment FAQs

If you have any questions about fluoride treatment, we’ve got answers.

Yes, fluoride treatments are safe when administered by a qualified dental professional. We use the appropriate concentration of fluoride based on your age and needs.

Like fluoridated tap water, fluoride toothpaste only contains small amounts of this helpful mineral. Applying it to your teeth over time has a cumulative effect of building stronger teeth and reducing the risk of decay. But professional fluoride treatments in Encinitas go above and beyond that. Applying a fluoride gel at your dental checkup significantly strengthens teeth to make them more resistant to acidic bacteria between visits. However, it’s still important to use fluoridated oral hygiene products on an everyday basis.

Yes, fluoride treatments are highly beneficial for children, especially as their permanent teeth erupt. We use a child-friendly concentration of fluoride to protect their developing smiles.

Orthodontic patients are at a higher risk of enamel demineralization and decay because the brackets, wires, and other orthodontic appliances used in treatment can make it more difficult to clean the teeth effectively. As a result, sometimes food particles and plaque can become trapped around the brackets and wires, leading to an increased risk of decay and other oral health problems, such as enamel demineralization or “white spots” on the teeth once the braces are removed.

By professionally cleaning your teeth and applying fluoride around the braces, we can help limit the risk of demineralized white circles once your braces come off. In many cases, we’ll also prescribe a concentrated gel for our patients with braces to use at home each day.

Professional fluoride treatments can be performed in several different ways. Some providers offer topical fluoride treatments, where the fluoride is applied directly to the teeth using a foam, gel, or varnish. Another option is a customized delivery system via a tray that fits over the teeth.

Depending on the type of fluoride treatment you receive, you may need to wait up to 30 minutes or more after the appointment before eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth.

Many dental insurance plans cover fluoride treatment. Our team will work with you to determine your coverage and help maximize your benefits.

Many dental insurance plans cover fluoride treatments as a preventive measure. Our team can help you check your specific coverage.

In addition to these in-office treatments, our Encinitas dentist may also prescribe fluoride supplements to use at home each day. These are taken daily and can help to provide additional protection against tooth decay. The most common is a concentrated gel that you brush onto your teeth at bedtime.
