Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment is a dental procedure that involves applying a concentrated form of fluoride to the teeth. This treatment helps strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. It is often recommended for children, but adults can benefit as well, especially those at higher risk for cavities.
The treatment can be administered in various forms, including gels, foams, or varnishes. Typically, a dentist or dental hygienist applies the fluoride directly to the teeth, and patients are advised not to eat or drink for at least 30 minutes afterward to allow the fluoride to absorb effectively.
