What Fluoride Does for Your Teeth

Fluoride works by remineralizing tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acids produced by bacteria in the mouth. This helps prevent cavities and can even reverse early stages of tooth decay.

How Fluoride Treatments Work

During a fluoride treatment, a concentrated gel, foam, or varnish is applied to the teeth. The fluoride penetrates the enamel, providing a protective barrier against decay. This quick and painless procedure is effective for patients of all ages.
