Fluoride is a natural mineral essential for maintaining strong, healthy teeth. At Save Dental Orem, we offer professional fluoride treatment to help protect your teeth from decay and strengthen enamel. This preventive service benefits patients of all ages, especially those prone to cavities or enamel erosion. Our dentists and team are committed to promoting long-term oral health through effective, patient-centered care.
How Fluoride Strengthens Teeth
Fluoride works by remineralizing enamel, the protective outer layer of your teeth. Daily exposure to acids from food, drinks and bacteria can weaken enamel, making teeth more vulnerable to decay. Fluoride treatment helps reverse early signs of demineralization and creates a stronger barrier against cavities.
Our dentists may recommend fluoride treatment as part of your routine dental care, especially if you:
- Experience frequent cavities or tooth sensitivity
- Have weakened enamel due to diet or medical conditions
- Wear braces or other orthodontic appliances
- Have dry mouth, which increases the risk of decay
- Want to provide extra protection for your child’s developing teeth
Regular fluoride applications help reinforce your enamel and keep your smile healthy.
A Simple and Effective Preventive Treatment
Fluoride treatment is a quick and painless procedure performed in just a few minutes. Our dentists will apply a concentrated fluoride solution to your teeth, allowing it to absorb and strengthen the enamel. Unlike fluoride found in toothpaste or drinking water, professional fluoride treatments contain higher levels of the mineral for more effective protection.
After the application, it is best to avoid eating or drinking for a short period to allow the fluoride to fully absorb. This simple step can significantly reduce your risk of cavities and support your long-term oral health.
