What is Fluoride?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in food and water. It makes teeth resistant to acids created by plaque and sugars, helping to prevent tooth decay and cavities. When you eat foods and drink beverages that contain fluoride, it becomes deposited on your tooth enamel, but it is lost when the acids made by plaque and sugars erode that same tooth enamel. Tooth decay results when more fluoride is lost than deposited.
Fluoride Treatments
In a fluoride treatment, fluoride is topically applied to your teeth. Such a preventive dentistry treatment is simple, pain-free, and quick: fluoride in the form of varnish, or gel, is directly applied to your teeth using a brush.
Fluoride Treatment Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs fluoride treatment?
If you are at a moderate to high risk for cavities, Drs. French or Dr. Conti may recommend including a dental fluoride treatment in your routine dental plan. The same recommendation will be made if you have a history of restorative dental work, gum disease, sensitive teeth, or other various conditions that can predispose you to become more susceptible to tooth decay. Regular fluoride treatment can play an important role in maintaining a healthy, white smile.
