Prioritize Your Oral Health With Fluoride Treatments

At Kirkland Lake Dental Office in Kirkland Lake, our experienced staff is proud to provide fluoride treatments that are safe and effective. For over seventy years, fluoride has been proven as an easy way to keep your teeth healthy and reduce your risk of cavities.

What is involved in fluoride treatments?

Our dentist will apply a fluoride solution directly to your teeth during treatment. The fluoride helps strengthen the tooth enamel, making it more resistant to cavities and decay. After completing the application, you may be instructed to avoid eating or drinking for at least thirty minutes to allow the solution to be fully absorbed into your teeth.

What are the benefits of fluoride treatments?

Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and decrease the risk of cavities. They also reduce sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures and remineralize teeth that have already experienced decay.

Are fluoride treatments safe?

Yes, fluoride treatments are entirely safe. Fluoride is the negative ion of the element fluorine found naturally in the soil, air, water, and even the foods we eat. About 99% of the fluoride in the body is stored in the bones and teeth.

Who should consider fluoride treatment?

Fluoride treatments are recommended for people of all ages, but they are especially beneficial for young children still developing their teeth. Fluoride treatments can also be a great option for adults with an increased risk of cavities or sensitivity due to diet, lifestyle habits, or medication.
