Fluoride Treatment

Strengthen and Protect Your Smile

Dufour Dental Hygiene believes prevention is the foundation of a healthy smile.

Fluoride Treatment is a simple, highly effective way to strengthen tooth enamel, protect against cavities, and even reverse early signs of tooth decay.

Professional fluoride applications are safe, quick, and an important part of maintaining lifelong oral health — especially for those with a higher risk of cavities.

What Is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps to rebuild (remineralize) weakened tooth enamel and makes teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque, bacteria, and sugars.

Professional fluoride treatments use higher concentrations of fluoride than found in over-the-counter toothpaste or mouth rinses, providing stronger protection for your teeth.

At Dufour Dental Hygiene, fluoride treatments can:

Help prevent dental decay
Slow down the progression of existing decay
Stop early decay from getting worse

Who Can Benefit from Fluoride Treatments?

While fluoride is beneficial for everyone, professional treatments are especially helpful for:

Children and teens, as their developing teeth need extra protection
Adults who are prone to cavities
Individuals with dry mouth (xerostomia)
Those with a history of frequent cavities
Patients with dental restorations like crowns, bridges, or braces
People with gum disease, which can expose more of the tooth root to potential decay

How Is Fluoride Applied?

The treatment is simple, fast, and painless:

Fluoride may be applied in the form of a gel, foam, varnish, or rinse.
It is brushed onto the teeth or placed in a tray that sits in the mouth for a few minutes.
After application, you’re advised not to eat or drink for a short period to allow maximum fluoride absorption.

The entire process takes only a few minutes but offers long-lasting protection.

Benefits of Professional Fluoride Treatment

Strengthens enamel to better resist acid attacks
Reverses early stages of tooth decay
Reduces sensitivity in teeth
Prevents costly dental treatments later by stopping cavities before they start
Safe and effective for people of all ages

Keep Your Smile Strong and Healthy
