What Does Fluoride Treatment Do?
is a natural mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and reverse early signs of decay. It can also reduce the amount of acid produced by dental plaque. While you can buy fluoride mouth rinse over the counter, an in-office treatment provides an extra layer of protection from bacteria.
How Long Does a Fluoride Treatment Last?
In general, a professional fluoride treatment will last for several months. For the best results, we recommend reapplying the fluoride varnish every three to six months. Although, it’s important to remember that each patient is different. As such, our Hobart dentist will create a treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
The effectiveness of a fluoride treatment for your overall health will also depend on how well you practice good oral hygiene between dental visits. Please continue to brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes at a time. You should also floss once a day to remove any plaque or food particles hiding between teeth.
