What are the benefits of professional fluoride treatments?
Professional fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to cavities and acid erosion. They can also reverse early signs of decay and reduce tooth sensitivity. Fluoride treatments provide a concentrated level of protection that supports long-term oral health, especially for patients prone to cavities, dry mouth, or weakened enamel.
Is professional fluoride better than fluoride toothpaste?
Professional fluoride treatments are more powerful than fluoride toothpaste because they contain a much higher concentration of fluoride. While toothpaste is essential for daily maintenance, in-office fluoride offers deeper remineralization and longer-lasting protection. We recommend professional fluoride as a preventive boost that works alongside regular brushing and flossing.
How often should I get fluoride treatments?
Most patients benefit from fluoride treatments every six months during routine dental cleanings. However, patients at higher risk for decay may need treatments more frequently. Our team can evaluate your oral health and cavity risk to recommend the ideal schedule for maintaining strong, healthy teeth.
Does my insurance cover fluoride treatments?
Many dental insurance plans cover fluoride treatments for children, and some also provide coverage for adults, depending on the plan. Preventive coverage can vary, so we always recommend reviewing your dental benefits in advance. Our dental membership plan includes fluoride treatments with routine cleanings, offering an excellent alternative for uninsured patients.
