Cleanings / Fluoride Treatment in Huntington Park CA

Fluoride is an essential mineral that stops cavities and builds strong teeth. It has been a necessary oral health treatment for years. At our dental practice, we provide excellent and compassionate fluoride treatments. We are proud to serve both young and adult patients.

What Is Fluoride Treatment 

Fluoride treatments are commonly professional treatments that consist of a high fluoride concentration that a hygienist or dentist will apply to a patient’s teeth to lower the risk of cavities and improve health.

Benefits of Fluoride Treatment 

Some benefits of fluoride treatment include:

  • It helps the body to best use minerals, such as phosphate and calcium.
  • When teeth are developing to strengthen the enamel of the teeth, fluoride treatment joins into the tooth shape, making the teeth less susceptible to cavities and bacteria.
  • It reduces or even reverses the development of cavities by destroying bacteria that cause cavities.
  • It decreases the risk of cavities
  • It eliminates the need for costly dental work
  • The growth of cavities is slower
  • It extends the life of baby teeth
  • It helps to properly manage the amount of money and time a patient spends at the dentist
  • It has been linked to stopping gum disease
  • Decreases pain in the tooth
  • Stops the immature loss of teeth

Procedure for Fluoride Treatment 

Our dentists provide effective fluoride treatments in a rich foam, rinse, and gel. This treatment is then applied with a brush, tray, and swab. The mouth tray which contains the product is used to apply the gel or foam. The tray is clutched in the mouth by biting. The application usually takes about five minutes, and patients are not allowed to eat, smoke, drink or rinse for at least 30 minutes after application.
