fluoride treatment

Dental cavity prevention

Fluoride treatment is a dental procedure that applies concentrated fluoride to teeth to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities.

Dentists typically administer it as a gel, foam, or varnish after a cleaning: The hygienist gave my daughter a fluoride treatment.

Some treatments are available for home use.
