Introduction to Fluoride Application
Fluoride application is a simple yet highly effective treatment offered at Wolski Dental Group to strengthen teeth and prevent tooth decay. This preventive measure is beneficial for patients of all ages, playing a crucial role in maintaining long-term oral health.
Understanding the Benefits of Fluoride
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral known for its ability to strengthen tooth enamel and make teeth more resistant to decay. It can also help repair the early stages of tooth decay even before the decay becomes visible. Regular fluoride applications are especially important for children and adolescents, whose developing teeth are more susceptible to cavities, but adults can benefit significantly as well.
The Fluoride Application Process
The process of fluoride application is quick, comfortable, and non-invasive:
Teeth Cleaning
Your teeth will be cleaned to remove any plaque or debris.
Fluoride Application
Fluoride, in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish, is applied to your teeth. It is usually applied with a brush, tray, or mouthwash.
Brief Waiting Period
You may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for a short period after the application to allow the fluoride to fully absorb.
