Fluoride Treatment in Solana Beach, California

Transforming The Experience of Dentistry Since 2000

Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your teeth against decay. While people already get it from the water they drink, people who are concerned about future cavities can come into our office to get fluoride treatment.

Who’s a Good Candidate for Fluoride Treatment?

If you’re concerned about cavities, you’re likely a good candidate for fluoride treatment. The fact that it’s such a quick, affordable procedure makes it easy to recommend. That said, it’s especially recommended for:

Children – Kids haven’t always figured out how to properly take yet. The defense that fluoride provides is therefore essential.
Adults with a Higher Risk of Cavities – Fluoride is an excellent way to protect your teeth if you drink a lot of coffee, eat a lot of acidic foods, or engage in other activities that can lead to tooth decay.

In some cases, we may pair this treatment with sealants , which can also protect teeth from cavities. If there’s already been decay, we may instead need to give you fillings .

What to Expect When Getting Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride varnish only takes minutes to apply, though you should wait an additional 30 minutes to ensure it’s fully dried before drinking, and an additional four to six hours before brushing your teeth.

When administered at our dental office, fluoride can act as a whitener. We typically recommend this treatment anywhere from two to four times per year.
