How it helps
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps rebuild weakened enamel and makes teeth more resistant to the acids that cause decay. A professional treatment delivers a concentrated dose right where it is needed.
We often recommend fluoride for children whose teeth are still developing, and for adults with dry mouth, sensitivity, gum recession or a history of cavities.

Common questions

Absolutely. Adults at higher risk of cavities or sensitivity can benefit just as much as kids. We will let you know if it makes sense for you.
We will give you specific instructions, but usually you can eat soft foods soon after and should avoid very hot drinks and brushing for a few hours.
