Fluoride Treatment in Encinitas, CA
Fluoride Treatment
Professional fluoride treatment can strengthen tooth enamel and help protect teeth from cavities. At Ablantis Dental, we may recommend topical fluoride based on your age, cavity history, enamel condition, dry mouth, exposed tooth roots, orthodontic treatment, and other individual risk factors. The treatment is quick, comfortable, and provided as part of a personalized preventive-care plan.
What is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that supports remineralization—the process that restores minerals to weakened enamel. It can help slow or reverse the earliest stages of tooth decay before a cavity requires a restoration.
In the dental office, fluoride is commonly applied as a concentrated varnish, foam, or gel. Application generally takes only a few minutes, and we will provide instructions about eating, drinking, or brushing afterward. Fluoride needs vary, so Dr. Cortadi and the Ablantis Dental team will recommend treatment only when it is appropriate for your oral health.
