Fluoride is found in many foods and drinks we consume daily, and may act as a natural defense against tooth decay. However, the fluoride we get from our diet is generally less concentrated than the fluoride used in professional dental treatments.
Professional fluoride treatment may help support your oral health by potentially strengthening enamel. Visit our dental team for fluoride applications in Norwell, MA.
What to Expect from Fluoride Treatment
There are two types of fluoride treatments: professional (done in the dental office) and over-the-counter products you use at home. Both types may be beneficial for supporting good dental health for people of all ages.
Professional fluoride treatments contain higher concentrations and may help strengthen your teeth and address early stages of decay. Home-use fluoride products, while helpful, are not as concentrated as professional treatments.
Benefits of Fluoride for Your Teeth
Fluoride may help address minor tooth decay and may help with early damage before it becomes visible. Many people may not realize that fluoride, when used correctly, may be beneficial. At the dentist’s office, fluoride is applied in a concentrated form, such as varnish, gel, or foam. The professional fluoride application contains higher concentrations than the fluoride found in regular dental care products.
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends using professional fluoride products with the ADA Seal of Acceptance. This seal indicates that the products meet ADA standards.
How Fluoride Treatments Work
When you visit Advanced Dental Arts for a fluoride treatment, our dentists will apply the fluoride directly to your teeth. This process is straightforward. After the application, we recommend avoiding eating or drinking for about 30 minutes to allow the fluoride to be absorbed.
