Fluoride Treatment

The purpose of a fluoride treatment is to strengthen your teeth to help defend against tooth loss and decay.  You may need fluoride treatment if you fall in any of the following categories:

• you are genetically predisposed to tooth decay
• you have a high intake of sugar during the day
• you don’t floss regularly
• you grew up in a city that didn’t properly regulate fluoride levels in the water supply
• you have sensitive teeth
• you only drink bottled water
• you just had deep cleaning or gum therapy

Fluoride reinforces the tooth structure by replacing weak molecules in the teeth.  At Dallas Dental Care, our fluoride treatment consists:

• drying your teeth surfaces
• applying 5% sodium fluoride varnish
• suctioning off excess fluoride
• giving patient post-op instructions
