Fluoride Treatments in Cibolo, TX

Fluoride treatments are a quick and non-invasive process! Fluoride can be applied either topically or systemically by consumption. When applied topically, a foam, gel, or varnish is applied to the surface of your child’s teeth. The varnish will harden and coat the surface of teeth. When hardened, fluoride works to repair small areas of decay and allows the teeth to absorb it. We suggest keeping the varnish on for at least an hour before eating, drinking, or brushing.

The American Dental Association and our team recommend a professional fluoride treatment every three, six, or twelve months. When you visit our office, we’ll discuss your child’s fluoride intake and determine how often they should receive fluoride treatments. While this frequency will vary on your child’s oral health and tooth decay, it is usually enough to receive fluoride treatments after dental cleanings, which are encouraged to happen every six months to help prevent tooth decay!
