Fluoride treatments are an essential part of dental health maintenance, providing a critical defense against tooth decay. This natural mineral helps rebuild weakened tooth enamel, slows down the loss of minerals from tooth surfaces and inhibits the growth of harmful oral bacteria. Our dental professionals are proficient in fluoride application, ensuring that both children and adults receive the maximum benefit from each treatment to maintain strong, healthy teeth.
What is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and prevents the growth of bacteria harmful to teeth. Treatments usually involve a concentrated fluoride varnish, gel, foam or solution applied directly to the teeth by our dental team. These treatments contain a much higher level of fluoride than what is found in tap water or toothpaste. The application is quick and painless, and significantly boosts the tooth’s resistance to decay.
The Fluoride Treatment Experience
Your fluoride treatment at Modern Smiles Nampa starts with a thorough examination to assess your oral health. Depending on your needs, our dentists and team apply the fluoride in the form of a varnish, gel or foam. The fluoride adheres quickly to the teeth, and the application process is completed in just a few minutes. There is no discomfort, and you can continue your day immediately after the treatment, with the added confidence of stronger, more protected teeth.
