Fluoride Treatment in Welland, ON

Fluoride treatment is a preventive procedure in which a dental professional applies concentrated fluoride to the teeth as a gel, foam or varnish.

What Is a Fluoride Treatment at the Dentist?

A fluoride treatment at the dentist delivers a stronger, professionally applied dose of fluoride than everyday products. At Rose City Dental Centre, fluoride treatment:

• Strengthens tooth enamel, the hard outer layer of the tooth
• Helps reduce the risk of cavities
• Supports enamel remineralization, which helps repair weakened areas
• Is applied professionally during dental visits
• Is explained clearly to you during care

According to the Canadian Dental Association, fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay, and can also reverse early signs of tooth decay.
