Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that strengthens tooth enamel — the hard outer layer that protects teeth from decay — by remineralizing areas weakened by acid attack. Professional fluoride treatments deliver a concentration of fluoride far higher than toothpaste or mouth rinses, providing months of enhanced enamel protection after a single application.
Recognizing the signs early makes treatment simpler. Here’s what we look for — and the surest way to know is a quick exam with a Boca dentist.
Fluoride is applied at the end of the cleaning appointment — teeth should be clean for best absorption.
