Fluoride application

Tooth decay is one of the most common dental issues, but fluoride application provides an easy and effective way to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. At Stamford Green Dental, we offer professional fluoride treatments for children and adults, giving your teeth an added layer of protection against decay and sensitivity.


What Is Fluoride & How Does It Help?

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps rebuild and strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid and bacteria that cause cavities. It also helps reverse early signs of tooth decay, reducing the need for fillings or other restorative treatments.


Benefits of Fluoride Treatment

How Is Fluoride Applied?

Fluoride treatment is fast, easy, and completely pain-free:

1️⃣ Teeth Cleaning – We ensure your teeth are clean and free of plaque.
2️⃣ Fluoride Application – A concentrated fluoride gel, foam, or varnish is applied to the teeth.
3️⃣ Short Wait Time – The fluoride is left on for a few minutes to allow absorption.

How Often Should You Get Fluoride Treatment?

For most patients, we recommend fluoride applications every six months as part of regular checkups. However, those with a higher risk of cavities may benefit from more frequent treatments as recommended by our dentists.
