Getting a fluoride treatment in a dental office for adults is a great way to protect your smile. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that can help prevent tooth decay. It has the ability to reverse the early signs of enamel damage and protect the margins of restorations.

Fluoride treatment for adults can also strengthen teeth. Some factors that increase your cavity risk are a dry mouth, a high-acidic diet, and the absence of a regular dental care routine.

Fluoride can also help reduce teeth sensitivity. When dental enamel breaks down, the layer beneath can be exposed. This layer is composed of numerous microscopic pathways that lead directly to the nerve within the tooth and cause more sensitivity to outside stimuli. However, when you get fluoride treatments, you can restore the outer protective layer of your teeth and make them less sensitive to heat and cold.

While we do frequently recommend at-home rinses, fluoride rinses and toothpastes, a professional application contains a much higher level of fluoride and are much more effective in strengthening your teeth.
