Fluoride treatments involve the application of a concentrated fluoride solution to the teeth, which helps to strengthen enamel and make it more resistant to decay. Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, supports tooth remineralization and helps prevent cavities by fighting harmful bacteria. Regular fluoride treatments are an excellent addition to your preventive dental care routine.

• Strengthens Tooth Enamel: Helps make teeth more resistant to acid attacks and decay.
• Reduces the Risk of Cavities: Effective at preventing cavities, especially in children and teens.
• Quick and Painless: The treatment takes only a few minutes and is completely pain-free.
• Supports Overall Oral Health: Contributes to stronger, healthier teeth and gums.

Receiving fluoride treatments at Russo Family Dentistry & Aesthetics is simple and convenient:

1. Professional Cleaning: We begin with a thorough dental cleaning to remove any plaque and tartar.
2. Application of Fluoride: The fluoride solution, gel, or foam is applied directly to the teeth using a brush, tray, or rinse.
3. Short Waiting Period: The fluoride is left on the teeth for a few minutes to allow it to fully absorb.
4. Post-Treatment Guidance: We advise patients not to eat or drink for at least 30 minutes after the treatment to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Fluoride treatments are beneficial for patients of all ages, but they are especially important for children, teens, and individuals at higher risk for cavities. Adults who have a history of dental decay, dry mouth conditions, or other risk factors can also greatly benefit from regular fluoride applications as part of their preventive care plan.
