What To Expect?
During our patients' cleaning visits, we administer professional fluoride treatment at six-month intervals. Depending on the patient's oral condition, we offer either acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) or neutral sodium fluoride. The treatment can be delivered as a gel, foam, or varnish, carefully applied to dried, clean teeth. Given the potent concentration of fluoride in our professional treatments, patients are advised against swallowing any fluoride.
Treatment Aftercare
To optimize the treatment's effectiveness, we recommend that patients refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking for at least 30 minutes afterward, allowing the fluoride ample time to penetrate the enamel.
Benefits of Fluoride Treatment
Since fluoride treatments serve as a preventative measure, patients should consider them as an investment that could potentially save them from costlier fillings and extensive dental procedures in the future.
