Strengthen and Protect Your Smile With Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a mineral commonly found in toothpaste and mouthwash, known for its ability to help protect teeth and prevent cavities. While daily use at home plays a crucial role, professional fluoride treatments from Van Nuys Panorama Dental Center offer an added layer of defense to keep your smile healthy and resilient. These treatments are beneficial for patients of all ages who want to maintain strong teeth and minimize the risk of decay.
Why Consider Fluoride Treatments?
Some individuals are naturally more prone to cavities, especially children, teens, or those with less-than-optimal brushing habits. Fluoride treatments offer extra protection by helping to remineralize enamel and reduce the likelihood of developing cavities. They’re also an excellent addition to your routine if you're looking to reinforce your at-home oral care with professional-grade support.
Who Can Benefit?
Most patients can benefit from fluoride treatments, and they are often recommended during routine visits. Whether you're experiencing early signs of enamel wear or simply want to strengthen your teeth, these treatments can be tailored to your specific needs. After a thorough exam, our dental team will determine if fluoride treatment is right for you or your family members.
What Happens During the Treatment?
The procedure is simple and comfortable. You’ll relax in one of our treatment chairs while we clean your teeth to ensure the fluoride is applied effectively. A liquid fluoride solution is then brushed onto the teeth, where it sits for a few moments to absorb. Patients are typically advised to avoid eating or drinking for about an hour following treatment to ensure optimal results. Depending on your needs, fluoride applications may be recommended during regular checkups.
