fluoride treatments

Dental enamel protection

Fluoride treatments are applications of concentrated fluoride to teeth, typically performed by dentists to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities.

The fluoride—delivered as a gel, foam, varnish, or rinse—helps remineralize tooth surfaces and makes them more resistant to acid from bacteria.

Children commonly receive fluoride treatments during dental checkups, though adults with high cavity risk may also benefit.
