Fluoride Treatment At South City Dental In Toronto

Fluoride treatments is a common dental procedure aimed at strengthening tooth enamel and preventing tooth decay. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps to remineralize enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and acids in the mouth.

At South City Dental, fluoride treatments may be offered as a preventive measure for patients of all ages, particularly those who are at a higher risk of developing cavities. Here’s what you can expect during a fluoride treatment session:

1. Assessment: We will examine your teeth and assess your oral health to determine if fluoride treatment is necessary and beneficial for you.
2. Cleaning: Before the fluoride treatment, your teeth will be cleaned to remove any plaque or debris, ensuring that the fluoride can penetrate the enamel effectively.
3. Fluoride application: The fluoride treatment may be applied in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish. The dentist or dental hygienist will apply the fluoride solution to your teeth using a brush, swab, or tray. The fluoride is left on the teeth for a short period to allow for absorption into the enamel.
