What Is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps rebuild weakened tooth enamel and reverse early signs of tooth decay. While it’s commonly found in toothpaste and some tap water, in-office fluoride treatments use higher concentrations for more effective protection.
At our Plano dental office, fluoride is applied topically as a varnish, gel, or foam following your dental cleaning and exam. The process is quick, painless, and non-invasive—ideal for children, teens, and adults alike.
Benefits of Professional Fluoride Application
- Strengthens enamel against acid erosion and plaque
- Helps reverse early signs of demineralization
- Reduces the risk of cavities in children and adults
- Aids in sensitivity relief for exposed root surfaces
- Offers targeted protection in high-risk areas
Fluoride treatments are especially valuable for patients with orthodontic appliances, dry mouth, gum recession, or a history of frequent cavities.
Who Should Get Fluoride Treatments?
While fluoride is often associated with pediatric care, adults can benefit too—especially those with increased cavity risk due to diet, medication, or underlying conditions.
Dr. Sweeta Walia recommends fluoride for many of her adult patients as part of a long-term strategy for enamel preservation, particularly those undergoing cosmetic or restorative procedures.
