The Benefits of Fluoride Treatment for Your Dental Health
Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. While fluoride is often found in community water supplies and certain dental products, professional fluoride treatments provide an additional layer of protection that is especially beneficial for children, teens, and adults at higher risk for cavities.
What to Expect During a Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatments at Hendricks Family Dentistry are quick, comfortable, and tailored to each patient’s needs:
- Application: After your routine dental cleaning and exam, we apply fluoride in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish directly to the teeth. This treatment typically takes just a few minutes.
- Strengthening Enamel: The fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to the acids produced by bacteria in the mouth.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Our professional fluoride treatments are highly effective, providing added protection for months.

Fluoride treatment is safe and beneficial for patients of all ages. It is especially recommended for:
- Children and Adolescents: As their teeth develop, fluoride treatments provide essential protection to strengthen enamel and prevent decay.
- Patients with a History of Cavities: For those who are prone to cavities, fluoride provides extra protection against decay.
- Patients with Dry Mouth: Reduced saliva flow can increase the risk of decay, making fluoride an effective preventive measure.
