Fluoride Treatments
In Leesburg, FL
What is Fluoride Treatment?
- Fluoride treatment is a dental procedure that applies a high concentration of fluoride to the teeth topically. This mineral helps rebuild and strengthen tooth enamel, reverse early signs of tooth decay, and prevent future cavities.
How Does Fluoride Treatment Work?
- During the treatment, fluoride is applied to your teeth in the form of gel, foam, or varnish. This application can be done using a brush, swab, or tray that fits over your teeth. The fluoride then works to remineralize weakened enamel, effectively helping to prevent cavities and reverse early signs of decay.
