Strengthening Enamel, Preventing Decay

What Are Fluoride Treatments?

Fluoride treatments are a simple, non-invasive way to help protect your teeth against cavities. Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to the acid attacks that cause decay. At Briggs Family Dental, we offer professional fluoride applications as part of our preventive care services.

During a fluoride treatment, a concentrated fluoride gel or varnish is applied directly to the teeth and left in place for several minutes. This allows the fluoride to penetrate the enamel and provide long-lasting protection. Fluoride treatments are often recommended for children, but adults can benefit as well, especially those at higher risk for cavities.
  • Helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities
  • Quick, painless application of fluoride gel or varnish
  • Beneficial for patients of all ages, especially children

Benefits of Fluoride Treatments

Strong enamel resists decay naturally. Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth surfaces against acid attacks, reduce sensitivity to temperature changes, and provide ongoing protection that helps avoid fillings and more extensive dental work.
Prevent Painful and Costly Cavities
Fluoride helps your teeth resist the acid attacks that cause decay. By strengthening enamel, these treatments help you avoid the discomfort and expense of fillings and crowns.
In its initial stages, decay can be stopped and even healed with fluoride and good hygiene. Treat trouble spots early to keep your smile whole and strong.
Fluoride bolsters your teeth against temperature sensitivity and the effects of sugar. Savor hot coffee, cold ice cream, and sweet treats without wincing.
Fluoride is especially important for children whose enamel is still forming. Give their adult teeth the building blocks for a cavity-resistant smile.
Mouth Conditions that reduce saliva leave teeth vulnerable to cavities. Fluoride helps compensate for this by fortifying enamel against harmful bacterial acid.
Preventing decay with fluoride means fewer fillings, less drilling, and a smaller dental bill. It’s a simple way to save your wallet and your calendar.

Preventing Cavities at Any Age

Who Are Fluoride Treatments For?

While often associated with pediatric care, fluoride treatments benefit patients of all ages. They are especially important for children, seniors, and those at higher risk for tooth decay who want an extra layer of protection against cavities.

Children with Developing Teeth

Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and prevent decay as kids’ teeth come in, making it an essential part of pediatric dental care.

Patients with Dry Mouth

Certain medications, health conditions, and aging can cause dry mouth, increasing cavity risk and making fluoride treatments crucial.

Those with Past Dental Work

If you have a history of frequent cavities, fillings, or crowns, fluoride can help prevent new decay and protect your restorations.

Do Any of These Situations Sound Familiar to You?

  • Seem to Always Get Cavities: No matter how well you brush and floss, tooth decay remains a constant battle that you want to win.

  • Had Cavities as a Child: You struggled with cavities throughout childhood and want to avoid repeating that pattern with your own kids.

  • Undergoing Orthodontic Treatment: Braces or aligners make it harder to clean your teeth effectively, putting you at higher risk for decay during treatment.

  • Suffering from Sensitive Teeth: Tooth sensitivity makes eating and drinking uncomfortable, and you're looking for a way to strengthen your enamel.

  • Taking Medications that Cause Dry Mouth: Prescriptions for conditions like anxiety, depression, or high blood pressure have reduced your saliva flow and increased your cavity risk.

  • Postmenopausal or Pregnant: Hormonal changes have made your teeth more susceptible to decay, and you want to prevent problems before they start.

  • Frequent Snacker or Soda Drinker: Your dietary habits expose your teeth to acid and sugar more often, making additional cavity protection essential.

  • Avoiding Fluoridated Tap Water: You prefer bottled or filtered water over fluoridated tap, which means you may not be getting enough fluoride to protect your teeth.

  • Undergoing Cancer Treatment: Chemotherapy and radiation can cause dry mouth and increase cavity risk, making fluoride treatments an important part of your oral care routine.

  • Providing Care for Aging Parents: You want to help your parents maintain their dental health as they age, especially if they have medical conditions or take medications that affect their teeth.

1

Assessing Your Fluoride Needs

We begin by evaluating your unique risk factors for tooth decay, including your oral hygiene habits, diet, and medical history. Based on this assessment, we determine if fluoride treatments are right for you and how often they should be applied.
2

Comfortable Application Process

We apply fluoride using a simple, painless process. We gently brush the fluoride solution onto your teeth, allowing it to absorb into the enamel. We may also use trays to hold the solution in place for a few minutes. The entire process is quick and comfortable.
3

At-Home Fluoride Guidance

In addition to in-office treatments, we provide guidance on how to maximize the benefits of fluoride at home. We may recommend fluoride toothpaste, mouthwash, or supplements based on your individual needs. Our goal is to help you maintain strong, healthy teeth for life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fluoride Treatments FAQs

Fluoride applications raise questions about safety, effectiveness, and who benefits most. Find evidence-based answers about professional fluoride treatments for all ages. Understanding fluoride’s protective role helps patients make informed prevention decisions.

What are the benefits of fluoride treatments?

Fluoride treatments at Briggs Family Dental offer several benefits for your oral health. Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to the acids that cause cavities. It can also reverse early stages of tooth decay and help prevent the need for more extensive treatments in the future. Regular fluoride treatments are especially beneficial for children and adults at higher risk of developing cavities.

While everyone can benefit from fluoride treatments, they are especially important for certain groups of people. Children and teenagers are often at higher risk of cavities as their teeth develop, making fluoride treatments a valuable preventive measure. Adults with a history of frequent cavities, dry mouth, or gum disease may also benefit from regular fluoride applications. At Briggs Family Dental, we’ll assess your individual needs and recommend a fluoride treatment plan that’s right for you.

The frequency of fluoride treatments depends on your individual oral health needs. For most patients, we recommend professional fluoride applications every six months during your regular dental cleanings at Briggs Family Dental. However, if you are at higher risk of developing cavities, Dr. Briggs may suggest more frequent treatments. We’ll work with you to determine the optimal schedule for maintaining strong, healthy teeth.

Yes, fluoride treatments are safe when administered by a trained dental professional. At Briggs Family Dental, we use a topical fluoride gel or varnish that is applied directly to your teeth. The fluoride is then allowed to absorb into your tooth enamel for maximum effectiveness. We take care to use the appropriate amount of fluoride based on your age and oral health needs, ensuring a safe and beneficial treatment.

Professional fluoride treatments at Briggs Family Dental are quick and easy. The process typically takes just a few minutes and can be done during your regular dental cleaning appointment. After the fluoride gel or varnish is applied to your teeth, you’ll be asked to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes to allow the fluoride to fully absorb into your tooth enamel.

When administered by a trained dental professional, fluoride treatments are generally well-tolerated and have no significant side effects. However, some patients may experience mild, temporary side effects such as tooth sensitivity or a slight change in taste. These side effects usually subside within a few hours after the treatment. If you have any concerns or experience prolonged discomfort, please contact Briggs Family Dental right away.

Yes, fluoride treatments can be beneficial even if you have dental restorations such as fillings, crowns, or bridges. While the restorations themselves will not absorb the fluoride, the treatment can help strengthen the surrounding natural tooth structure and prevent decay at the margins of the restorations. At Briggs Family Dental, we’ll ensure that your fluoride treatments are safe and effective for your specific dental needs.

Many dental insurance plans cover professional fluoride treatments, especially for children and teenagers. However, coverage can vary depending on your specific plan and provider. At Briggs Family Dental, we’ll work with you to understand your insurance benefits and maximize your coverage. If you have any questions about your insurance or payment options, our knowledgeable team is here to help.

Yes, in addition to professional fluoride treatments at Briggs Family Dental, you can use fluoride products at home to help protect your teeth. Most toothpastes and many mouthwashes contain fluoride, which can help strengthen your teeth with daily use. For patients at higher risk of cavities, Dr. Briggs may recommend prescription-strength fluoride products for use at home. We’ll provide guidance on how to safely and effectively incorporate fluoride into your daily oral hygiene routine.

While fluoride treatments are an important part of cavity prevention, they are not a standalone solution. Maintaining good oral hygiene habits, including regular brushing and flossing, is essential for keeping your teeth healthy. Additionally, eating a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods and drinks, and visiting Briggs Family Dental for regular cleanings and exams are all crucial components of a comprehensive cavity prevention plan. We’ll work with you to develop a personalized strategy for maintaining optimal oral health.
