Fluoride Treatment in Riverside, CA
At Anthem Dental, prevention is part of every visit. Patients who choose fluoride treatment in Riverside, CA, gain targeted protection for weakened enamel, lowering the chance of new cavities between appointments.
How Dental Fluoride Protects Enamel
Professionally applied dental fluoride promotes remineralization at the microscopic level. It helps calm sensitivity and discourages early decay without altering your bite or daily routine.
Types of Fluoride Treatment Available
During your exam, we determine whether a gel, foam, or rinse provides the most effective fluoride treatment. Home strategies—like toothpaste selection, timing, and dosing—are matched to age and cavity risk.
For high-risk grooves, roots, or newly erupted teeth, we may recommend fluoride varnish. This painted layer adheres for hours and releases fluoride slowly, extending protection after you leave the chair.
What to Expect During Fluoride Application
Your visit is brief. We dry and isolate the teeth, then apply fluoride to the teeth with gentle brushes. You can eat and drink soon afterward, following simple instructions for the first few hours to maximize benefits.
Preventive Care at Your Dental Office in Riverside
Many patients value continuity at a trusted dental office in Riverside, where results are tracked over time. We reassess cavity risk at each checkup and adjust fluoride frequency so prevention stays effective and convenient.
FAQs
How long should I wait to eat or brush after varnish?
Avoid hot drinks, alcohol rinses, crunchy foods, and brushing for four to six hours, then resume normal care.
How often should professional fluoride be scheduled?
High risk: every three to four months. Moderate risk: every six months. Low risk: annually, adjusted as needs change.
Can early white spots improve without drilling?
Yes. With professional fluoride and consistent home care, many early lesions harden. If softening continues, restoration may be needed.
