Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a naturally-occurring mineral found in or added to many water supplies that increases our teeth’s resistance to tooth decay. Fluoride also works to reverse tooth decay in its early stages.
We offer fluoride treatments at our Spartanburg dentist office, which contain a higher strength of fluoride than what is available in over-the-counter treatments. Fluoride treatments in a dentist’s office can come in the form of foams that are placed in a tray, varnishes that are painted onto the teeth, or gels that can be administered by painting them on the teeth.
It is most important for children between the ages of 6 months and 16 years to be exposed to fluoride, because this is when their primary and adult teeth erupt. However, adults also benefit from fluoride treatment.
