What is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride treatment involves the application of fluoride to the teeth to strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent tooth decay. This treatment can come in various forms, such as gels, foams, or varnishes, and is often applied during dental cleanings or check-ups. By remineralizing the enamel, fluoride strengthens its resistance to bacteria and sugars.
