Keeping your teeth healthy starts with strong preventive care. Fluoride treatment is a simple yet powerful way to help prevent cavities and strengthen enamel. At Summercrest Dental, we provide professional fluoride treatments to support long-term dental health for children and adults alike.
What Is Fluoride and How Does It Help?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps rebuild tooth enamel and prevent decay. It works by making the enamel more resistant to acid attacks from plaque, bacteria and sugars. Our dentist and team offers in-office fluoride treatments in Beaverton, OR, as part of a comprehensive preventive care plan.
While many people receive some fluoride from toothpaste or tap water, professional treatment offers a much higher concentration. Dr. Alex Yanchuk recommends fluoride for:
- Children developing their permanent teeth
- Adults with a history of cavities or weak enamel
- Patients with dry mouth or certain medications
- Individuals undergoing orthodontic or restorative treatment
Fluoride helps reverse early signs of decay and can even slow or stop the progression of developing cavities.
Quick, Comfortable and Effective Preventive Care
Fluoride treatment is fast, noninvasive and completely painless. At our office, the process typically involves applying a fluoride gel, foam or varnish directly to the teeth after a cleaning. The treatment only takes a few minutes and requires little to no downtime.
Benefits of professional fluoride treatment include:
- Strengthening of enamel and reduced sensitivity
- Lower risk of cavities and tooth decay
- Protection for both children and adults
- Easy integration into routine dental visits
Our dentist will evaluate your oral health and recommend a fluoride plan that fits your needs. In many cases, fluoride can help extend the life of your teeth and dental work.
