Fluoride Treatment in Sunnyvale, CA

Strengthen and Protect Your Smile with Preventive Fluoride Care

Fluoride is a natural mineral that plays a critical role in defending teeth against decay and enamel erosion. At Harmony Smile Dental, we offer professional fluoride treatment as a preventive measure to help both children and adults maintain stronger, healthier teeth. This simple yet effective service is part of our broader focus on general dentistry, supporting patients in avoiding more complex dental procedures in the future.

Whether you're visiting for a routine cleaning and exam or want to boost your cavity resistance, fluoride can be a powerful ally in long-term oral health.

What Is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride treatment involves applying a concentrated form of fluoride directly to the teeth in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish. This professional application enhances your teeth's ability to fight off harmful acids from plaque and sugars, making it more resistant to decay. It is especially helpful for patients at higher risk for cavities, including those with dry mouth, gum disease, or a history of frequent dental issues.

Who Should Consider Fluoride Treatment?

While fluoride treatment is commonly recommended for children, it offers significant benefits for adults as well. You may be a good candidate if you:

• Experience frequent cavities or enamel sensitivity
• Have exposed root surfaces or dental restorations like fillings or crowns
• Are undergoing orthodontic treatment or use aligners
• Suffer from dry mouth due to medications or health conditions

We often pair fluoride treatment with dental sealants for added protection, particularly in children.

What to Expect During Treatment

Fluoride treatment is quick, painless, and non-invasive. After your dental cleaning, our team will apply fluoride varnish or gel to your teeth, allowing it to sit for a few minutes. You may be advised to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes afterward to let the fluoride fully absorb.
