What are the benefits of fluoride treatments?
Professional fluoride treatments provide extra protection for teeth that may be vulnerable to decay. Because the fluoride is applied in a higher concentration than over-the-counter products, it offers stronger preventive support.

- Provides added protection for children and cavity-prone patients
- Quick and comfortable preventive treatment
Who should get routine fluoride treatments?
Fluoride treatments are commonly recommended for children because their teeth are still developing and may be more prone to cavities. However, many adults can also benefit from routine applications. Patients with a history of tooth decay, dry mouth, gum recession, or orthodontic appliances may benefit from additional fluoride protection. During your exam, we can review your oral health and determine whether regular fluoride treatments would be helpful for your smile.
How are fluoride treatments different from fluoride toothpaste?
Fluoride toothpaste provides daily protection at home by helping remove plaque and strengthening enamel during brushing. Professional fluoride treatments are different because they use a much higher concentration of fluoride applied directly in the dental office. This concentrated application allows the teeth to absorb more minerals in a short period of time. When combined with daily brushing and flossing, professional treatments help provide an added level of cavity prevention.
Are fluoride treatments expensive?
Fluoride treatments are one of the most affordable preventive services offered in dental care and typically costs much less than restorative procedures like fillings or crowns. Many dental insurance plans include fluoride treatments for children and may provide coverage for adults in certain situations, and our dental savings plan includes two fluoride treatments per year for all members.
