Fluoride treatment is a simple yet highly effective preventive measure that helps protect your teeth from decay. Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, strengthens the enamel — the outer layer of your teeth — making it more resistant to the acids produced by bacteria in the mouth. Dr. Bennett Packard, Dr. Mark Walker and Dr. Matthew Dunn offer professional fluoride treatments to patients of all ages as part of our commitment to maintaining your oral health. 

How Fluoride Treatment Works

During a fluoride treatment at Creekside Dental, our dentists will apply a concentrated fluoride solution directly to your teeth. This treatment is quick, painless and can be done during your regular dental checkup. The fluoride may be applied as a gel, foam or varnish, depending on your specific needs. Once applied, the fluoride is absorbed into the enamel, where it works to strengthen the teeth and reverse early signs of decay. 

Advantages of Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride treatment offers several important benefits, particularly for those at higher risk of developing cavities, such as children, individuals with dry mouth or those with a history of frequent cavities. Regular fluoride treatments can significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay, prolonging the life of your natural teeth and reducing the need for more extensive dental work in the future. We recommend fluoride treatments as part of a comprehensive approach to preventive care.
