Dr. Alexander Gerskowitz, Dr. Sandi Grace and Dr. Miriam Natovich are committed to ensuring your smile remains resilient and beautiful with this simple and effective treatment.

What Is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay caused by acids and bacteria. While fluoride is commonly found in drinking water and toothpaste, professional fluoride treatments offer a higher concentration for added protection.

Benefits of Fluoride Treatment:

  • Cavity Prevention: Strengthens enamel and reduces the risk of tooth decay.
  • Reversal of Early Decay: Remineralizes areas where decay has just begun.
  • Simple and Painless: The procedure is quick and non-invasive.
  • Protection for All Ages: Effective for children and adults in maintaining oral health.

The Fluoride Treatment Process

At Avant Garde Dental Arts, fluoride treatments are quick, comfortable and highly effective. Here is what you can expect:

  1. Thorough Cleaning: Before applying fluoride, our team ensures your teeth are clean and free of plaque or tartar.
  2. Fluoride Application: A concentrated fluoride gel, foam or varnish is applied to your teeth using a brush, tray or swab.
  3. Quick Absorption: The fluoride is left on for a few minutes to allow absorption into the enamel.
  4. Post-Treatment Guidance: Patients are advised to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes to maximize the fluoride’s effectiveness.

Who Can Benefit from Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride treatment is beneficial for:

  • Children: Strengthens developing teeth and prevents cavities.
  • Adults: Protects teeth prone to decay, particularly those with weakened enamel.
  • Patients with Special Needs: Offers additional protection for those at higher risk of cavities.
