Benefits of Fluoride Treatments

  • Strengthens Tooth Enamel: Makes teeth more resistant to decay and erosion.
  • Cavity Prevention: Helps remineralize weak spots before they become cavities.
  • Quick & Painless: Fast application with long-term protective effects.
  • Safe for All Ages: Beneficial for children, teens, and adults alike.
  • Ideal for At-Risk Patients: Great for those with a history of decay or sensitive teeth.

How Fluoride Treatments Work

Fluoride is a natural mineral that plays a key role in preventing tooth decay. During your visit at North Lakewood Dental, we apply a concentrated fluoride varnish, gel, or foam to your teeth. The treatment takes just a few minutes and requires no special prep. After application, we may recommend avoiding food or drink for about 30 minutes to allow optimal absorption.

This treatment is especially helpful for children with developing teeth, adults with sensitive areas or recession, and patients prone to decay. 

Why Get Fluoride Treatments at North Lakewood Dental

  • Personalized Prevention Plans: We recommend fluoride based on your specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • Family-Friendly Care: Safe, effective fluoride treatment options for patients aged 7 and older.
  • Comfortable Environment: Warm, friendly care in our easily accessible Bradenton office near Lakewood Ranch.
  • Insurance-Friendly: Many plans cover fluoride treatments, especially for children.
