What Is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride treatment is a protective coating that is applied to your teeth by your dentist. This perfectly safe varnish then acts to help stop cavities right in their tracks and prevent new ones from forming.
However, our dental office isn’t the only place where you can treat your smile to the protection of fluoride. There is also fluoridated toothpaste and mouth rinse that can be prescribed or bought over-the-counter.

When Should I Get Fluoride Treatment?
You can undergo fluoride treatment at any age. However, the best time for fluoride treatment is while primary and permanent teeth are developing, which is typically between the ages of 6 months and 16 years.
