Can You Benefit from a Fluoride Treatment?
Both children and adults can benefit from a fluoride treatment at Karmazin Dental, but it is more often recommended for a child with a high risk of cavities. It has been proven that the earlier a child is exposed to fluoride, the less likely they are to develop cavities.
It is important for infants and children between the ages of 6 months and 16 years to be exposed to fluoride. This is when the primary and permanent teeth come in. However, adults can benefit from fluoride as well. New research supports that topical fluoride, from toothpastes, mouth rinses, and fluoride treatments, are as important in fighting tooth decay as in strengthening developing teeth.
Fluoride has several benefits for the teeth:
- It helps your body better use minerals, such as calcium and phosphate. The teeth reabsorb these minerals to repair weak tooth enamel.
- For children, it joins into the tooth structure when the teeth are developing to strengthen the enamel, making them less vulnerable to bacteria and cavities.
- It slows or even reverses the development of cavities by harmful bacteria.
When taken together, these benefits may help to:
- Reduce your risk of cavities.
- Will slow the growth of cavities.
- Delays the need for dental treatment.
- Prolongs the life of baby teeth.
- Can reduce the amount of time spent at the dental office.
By preventing cavities and slowing the growth of bacteria, fluoride treatment may also:
- Prevent the development of gum disease.
- Reduce the possibility of tooth pain.
- Prevent the premature loss of teeth.
In addition, people with certain conditions may benefit from fluoride treatments. They include people with:
- Dry mouth conditions: Dry mouth caused by some diseases, certain medications, such as allergy medications, antihistamines, antianxiety drugs, and high blood pressure drugs, and head and neck radiation treatment make someone more prone to tooth decay. The lack of saliva makes it harder for food particles to be washed away and acids to be neutralized.
- Presence of crowns or bridges or braces: These treatments can put teeth at risk for decay at the point where the crown meets the underlying tooth structure or around the brackets of orthodontic appliances.

The Fluoride Treatment Procedure
A fluoride treatment is a quick and simple procedure that can be completed in one visit to Karmazin Dental. We will first professionally clean your teeth before the fluoride is applied. The fluoride comes in a highly concentrated form as either a rinse, foam, gel, or varnish. It is applied to the teeth with a brush, swab, or mouthwash. Once the treatment has been completed, you will be advised to not eat, drink, or rinse for about 30 minutes to give the fluoride a chance to absorb into the teeth fully.
The Life Expectancy of Fluoride
Depending on your oral health, Karmazin Dental may recommend fluoride treatments every 6–12 months. If you are at a higher risk of developing tooth decay, we might also recommend additional preventive measures, such as over the counter or prescription fluoride mouth rinses or gels, or an antibacterial mouth rinse.
