Fluoride Treatment

Overview

At Vaughan Wood Bridge Family Dentistry, we offer a valuable preventive dental solution known as fluoride treatment. This procedure entails the careful administration of fluoride onto your teeth. Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, plays a crucial role in enhancing the durability of tooth enamel, effectively bolstering its ability to fend off decay and cavities. Our approach involves the meticulous application of fluoride, presented as a gel, foam, or varnish, aimed at ensuring your oral health reaches its peak potential.

Why should I have Fluoride Treatment

Enhancing Tooth Enamel Strength with Vaughan Wood Bridge Family Dentistry: Our specialized fluoride treatment serves to reinforce tooth enamel, the protective outer shell of your teeth. By promoting remineralization, this procedure effectively repairs and fortifies weakened areas, fortifying your teeth’s resilience against acid assaults and the menace of tooth decay.

Safeguarding Against Tooth Decay: Embracing routine fluoride treatment significantly diminishes the likelihood of tooth decay and cavities. This proactive approach curbs the proliferation of detrimental oral bacteria, maintains a harmonious pH balance within the mouth, and shields teeth from the corrosive impact of plaque and sugars.
Comprehensive Dental Defense: Vaughan Wood Bridge Family Dentistry extends the advantages of fluoride treatment to patients of all ages, spanning from youngsters to adults. The significance of this treatment for children cannot be understated, given their heightened susceptibility to cavities during tooth development. Yet, adults too stand to gain from this protective measure, upholding optimal oral health and warding off tooth decay.
Streamlined and Painless Process: Experience the convenience of a swift and gentle fluoride treatment procedure, seamlessly accomplished within a few minutes. This hassle-free intervention necessitates no anesthesia or discomfort, making it a seamless inclusion in your regular dental appointments.
Economical Prevention for Long-Term Gains: Vaughan Wood Bridge Family Dentistry ensures that fluoride treatment is a fiscally prudent strategy against tooth decay and cavities. By reducing the necessity for more intricate dental interventions like fillings or root canals, which are both pricier and more time-intensive, this approach proves to be a judicious investment in your dental well-being.

Procedure Practise

Assessment of Oral Well-being: Prior to the fluoride treatment, Dr. Sarbjeet Singh & Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Dentistry, at Vaughan Wood Bridge Family Dentistry, will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. Your oral health will be carefully evaluated to determine the suitability and potential benefits of fluoride treatment.
Preparation Phase: Your teeth will be meticulously cleaned and dried in preparation for the fluoride treatment. The dental hygienist might employ a small suction instrument or cotton rolls to maintain tooth dryness throughout the procedure. This meticulous approach guarantees optimal absorption of fluoride and its subsequent effectiveness.
Fluoride Application: The application of fluoride treatment will be carried out by your dentist or dental hygienist, utilizing a brush, swab, or tray. A precise amount of fluoride gel, foam, or varnish will be gently administered to the surfaces of your teeth. This solution will be left in place for a specific period, allowing the fluoride to deeply penetrate and fortify the enamel of your teeth.
Temporary Avoidance of Consumables: Following the fluoride application, you may receive instructions to abstain from eating or drinking for a designated period. This precaution facilitates the complete interaction between fluoride and your tooth enamel, thereby maximizing its therapeutic advantages.
Rinsing or Cleaning: Depending on the type of fluoride treatment employed, your dentist may guide you to rinse your mouth or cleanse your teeth to eliminate any residual fluoride. This concluding step ensures your comfort and ensures that no leftover materials remain.
