Fluoride
Most often children and adolescents receive fluoride treatments. However, if you
are any person has a tendency toward high degree tooth decay, it is a good idea
to have the treatment as well. This treatment is done at your regular check up.
Fluoride is usually placed in trays and placed in the mouth for several minutes.
Then the trays are taken out and you are instructed to wait approximately 30
minutes before eating or drinking.
Another use for fluoride treatments are exposed roots which can often be very
sensitive. Usually, the fluoride varnish is painted on the tooth with a brush.
