At Lansdowne Place Dental, we offer fluoride treatments as a safe and effective way to help prevent tooth decay and strengthen your teeth. Dr. Matthew Yoon and our team are here to provide you with the best care to keep your teeth healthy and strong.
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that plays an essential role in keeping your teeth strong and resistant to cavities. Fluoride treatments help replenish the minerals that may be lost from your tooth enamel, particularly in areas that are prone to decay. This simple, quick, and painless procedure can significantly reduce your risk of developing cavities and can be beneficial for both children and adults.
At Lansdowne Place Dental, we offer fluoride treatments as part of our comprehensive preventive care services. Whether you are a child, teenager, or adult, fluoride can provide an added layer of protection to your teeth, helping you maintain a healthy smile for years to come.
Before applying fluoride treatment, Dr. Yoon will evaluate your oral health to determine if fluoride is right for you. We may recommend fluoride treatment for children who are at higher risk of cavities, for adults with a history of dental decay, or for anyone looking to maintain their oral health and prevent tooth sensitivity.
Fluoride treatment is a quick and easy process that typically takes just a few minutes. The treatment involves the application of a fluoride gel, foam, or varnish directly to the teeth. Depending on your needs, Dr. Yoon may apply the fluoride treatment using a tray, brush, or swab.
After the fluoride has been applied, we will ask you to avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes to allow the fluoride to fully absorb and take effect. This ensures maximum benefit and strengthens your teeth effectively. You may be asked to avoid consuming hot or cold foods and drinks immediately after treatment if you have sensitive teeth.
The frequency of fluoride treatments depends on your oral health needs. Children and individuals at high risk for cavities may benefit from fluoride treatments every 6 months, while adults may need them less frequently. Dr. Yoon will recommend a personalized treatment schedule based on your needs.
