Protect Your Smile With Fluoride Treatments

An important part of preventive dentistry, at Cedarbrae Dental in Scarborough, we know that fluoride treatments not only protect your teeth from decay-causing bacteria, they can also reverse the early signs of decay.

How are fluoride treatments applied?

During a fluoride treatment, our team will apply a concentrated form of fluoride to your teeth, which will be left in place for a set amount of time to properly absorb into tooth enamel. Fluoride takes just a few minutes to apply and can be performed during your routine dental checkup and cleaning appointment.

How often should I undergo this treatment?

Dental organizations and experts generally recommend that all patients receive fluoride treatments at least once every six months to help teeth remain healthy and strong in the short and long term.

Is everyone a candidate for fluoride treatments?

Fluoride treatments can benefit anyone, but they are especially recommended for children and seniors, who tend to be more prone to cavities. Patients with dry mouth, diabetes, or gum disease may also benefit from additional fluoride treatment as these conditions can increase a patient’s risk of tooth decay.
