Fluoride Treatments for the Greater Buffalo, NY Area
Professional Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride has been an essential oral health treatment for decades. It supports healthy tooth enamel and fights the bacteria that harm your teeth and gums. Fluoride works by re-mineralizing the tooth's surface where bacteria may have eroded the enamel and it helps prevent tooth decay by making the tooth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth.
During a professional fluoride treatment, a concentrated rinse, foam, or gel is applied to the teeth. These treatments have a higher amount of fluoride than what's found in your water or toothpaste and only take a few minutes to apply. Anyone with a high risk for cavities should receive professional fluoride treatments regularly.

Benefits of Dental Fluoride Treatments for Children
- Prevention of Tooth Decay: Fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel which in turn helps protect teeth from the acids produced by bacteria. Fluoride offers your child another layer of protection which helps to prevent tooth decay (something children are more susceptible to).
- Protection for Developing Teeth: Children's teeth, especially their permanent teeth which are still developing are much more prone to decay. Fluoride treatments provide an additional layer of protection during this critical period.
- High-Risk Individuals: There are some children who are at higher risk of tooth decay for reasons such as poor oral hygiene habits, a history of cavities, or certain medical conditions. In cases like these, your child may benefit greatly from fluoride treatments.
- Routine Dental Care: Fluoride treatments are often incorporated into routine dental check-ups and cleanings, providing an additional level of protection against tooth decay. These treatments area also non-invasive, quick, and cost-effective, making them an essential component of routine dental care for children.
