Fluoride Treatment From Your Dentists in Brampton

Offering a host of benefits to your smile, fluoride treatments are one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect and strengthen your oral health.

In the short term, fluoride can help remineralize your teeth and make them more resistant to cavities and decay. In the long term, fluoride treatments can help to slow the progression of tooth decay and gum disease. Additionally, fluoride treatments are safe, effective, and relatively inexpensive, making them a great option for people of all ages.

When should patients begin receiving fluoride treatments?

The Canadian Dental Association recommends that all children receive fluoride treatments as soon as their teeth start to come in. For most children, this means receiving fluoride treatments every six months starting at around age two or three.

Fluoride treatments are also recommended for adults of all ages. If you are at a higher risk for tooth decay and gum disease, your dentist may recommend that you receive fluoride treatments more frequently.

How are fluoride treatments applied?

There are two main types of fluoride treatments: topical and systemic. Topical fluoride treatments are applied directly to the teeth, while systemic fluoride treatments are taken orally in the form of tablets, drops, or gels.

The type of fluoride treatment that is right for you will depend on your individual needs and oral health history, and our dental experts will advise you on the option that will best suit your smile.
