Fluoride Treatment in Santa Monica

Maintaining the strength and condition of your smile is our first priority at Clove Dental in Santa Monica.  A significant portion of how we can shield your teeth from damage and cavities is through professional fluoride treatments.
 
We provide these easy-to-use yet powerful fluoride treatments for children, teenagers, and adults alike.  Using the most up-to-date techniques to ensure your comfort and excellent outcomes, we aim to provide you with the greatest protection available.
 
Whether you want to strengthen your teeth or avoid future issues, fluoride is a wise move for long-term oral health.

Consider fluoride to be your teeth's great protection.  Your tooth enamel is strengthened by this natural mineral, which makes it more resistant to decay.  A unique, potent form of fluoride is directly applied to your teeth during a professional fluoride treatment.
 
By soaking into your teeth, this fluoride strengthens their structure and forms a robust barrier.  It provides you with long-lasting protection by continually rebuilding places where your enamel may be weak.
 
We provide a variety of application methods in our Santa Monica clinic, including brush-on varnishes, foams, and even bespoke trays, to make sure every component of your teeth receives the support it needs.

• Many Cavities: Your teeth may require more fluoride support if you appear to acquire cavities frequently while practicing appropriate brushing and flossing habits.
• Sensitive Teeth: When you consume something hot, cold, or sweet, your teeth will feel sharp and painful. This is typically a sign that your enamel is a little weak. It can be strengthened by fluoride.
• Dry Mouth: Since saliva typically protects your teeth, fluoride becomes even more crucial if you don't generate much of it (perhaps as a result of drugs or other medical issues).
• Exposed Roots: The tooth roots are visible if your gums have receded. Since they lack enamel, fluoride is an excellent way to preserve these delicate places.
• Wearing braces might raise your risk of cavities since they make it more difficult to clean your teeth completely. During therapy, fluoride provides an additional layer of protection.

• We Clean First: We'll start with a thorough cleaning to remove any plaque or film. This helps the fluoride get right onto your tooth surfaces evenly.
• Applying Fluoride: Based on what your teeth need, we'll pick the best way to apply the fluoride (like a varnish or foam) and put it on carefully.
• Let It Soak In: After applying, we'll give you clear instructions on how long to wait before eating or drinking. This lets your teeth really absorb the fluoride.
• Tips for Home: We'll also give you simple advice on how to keep your teeth strong after the treatment and how to make fluoride a regular part of your oral care.
