Why should I get Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride Treatment is a part of preventive measures to minimize cavities and strengthen the tooth. Being rich in fluoride, it strengthens the tooth structures and renders them decay-free. Fluoride treatment is mainly sought by children and adults interested in enhancing their dental hygiene practices. Besides being effective, the treatment is pain-free and ensures that the teeth are protected against any form of decay.

The Benefits of Fluoride Treatment

Cavity Prevention

The tooth enamel is considerably thickened by fluoride treatment, which helps protect the teeth against cavities. This enables good oral hygiene in the long term. The likelihood of building cavities is reduced due to the usage of fluoride as a coating on top of the enamel, which significantly increases its durability.

Cost-Effective Care

Cavities and other dental disorders can lead to increased costs associated with procedures like fillings, crowns or teeth restoration. Fluoride treatments are the best way to prevent that. Future oral care costs can be managed and kept at bay due to the unlikelihood of acquiring serious dental issues.

Safe and Non-Invasive

Fluoride treatment is completely secure and painless. This non-invasive method has low side effects and carries no risks. Children can restore their decayed teeth, while adults are treated for advanced dental diseases.

Fluoride Treatment Process in Lake Mary

The process starts with cleaning, where Dr Shah removes plaque and tartar buildup on the tooth surfaces. This is a crucial step to allow the fluoride to bond quickly with the tooth surfaces.
After the teeth have been cleaned, fluoride will be applied in a gel, foam or varnish form using a brush or tray. No other dental procedure will be performed at this stage as it only takes a few minutes and its purpose is to ensure that fluoride gets in complete contact with the teeth.
After the application, patients will be requested not to eat or drink for around 30 minutes. This period is required for fluoride to penetrate into the enamel of the teeth in order to reinforce the benefits that it provides.
