Strengthen Your Teeth With Professional Fluoride Treatment

Maintaining good oral health is crucial; preventive dental care is an effective way to achieve this. One of the most effective methods of preventive dental care is fluoride treatment. Fluoride treatment helps to protect and strengthen your teeth from decay. At Arverne Dental, we believe in the importance of professional fluoride treatment to maintain the beauty and health of your smile. That's why Dr. Lyuba Taft, located in the Rockaway Beach area, offers expert fluoride treatment to help keep your teeth strong and healthy for years.

What is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride, a naturally occurring element, is known for strengthening enamel and preventing cavities. Fluoride treatment professionals apply a concentrated solution directly to the teeth to provide an additional layer of protection.

Fluoride Treatment Has Many Benefits

Strengthens Enamel: Fluoride can significantly strengthen your teeth’ outer, hard layer, known as enamel. This makes the enamel more resistant to acid attacks from plaque, bacteria, and sugars. Strong enamel can reduce the risk of decay by providing a natural barrier that protects your teeth against harmful elements.


How to Prevent Tooth Decay: Fluoride is a powerful anti-cavity agent. Regular fluoride treatments have been shown to reduce the risk of cavities and decay by up to 40%. This makes them an important component of preventive dentistry. You can reduce the risk of cavities by incorporating professional fluoride treatments into your oral care routine.


Reverses Early Decay: Fluoride is effective in preventing tooth decay and can also help to repair and remineralize early signs. When applied, fluoride encourages minerals such as calcium and phosphate to be absorbed back into the enamel. This remineralization can reverse minor decay and stop cavities from developing further.

Effective and Safe
Fluoride is an effective and safe preventive measure for children and adults. It helps children develop strong teeth that resist decay and benefits adults by maintaining their oral health. The American Dental Association recommends fluoride for those who are at a high risk of decay or have dental conditions that increase their susceptibility.

Fluoride Treatment Process

  • Initial Examination

    Arverne Dental begins the fluoride treatment with a thorough examination of your gums and teeth. Dr. Lyuba Taft will evaluate your oral health to determine whether fluoride is the right treatment for you. This evaluation could include reviewing your dental records, performing visual inspections, and taking X-rays to detect cavities or signs. Dr. Taft also considers your oral hygiene, dietary habits, and medical history to determine your risk for tooth decay. She will answer all your questions and explain fluoride’s benefits if recommended.

  • Approval

    After the initial exam, Dr. Taft will determine if fluoride is right for you. She or one of her dental hygienists will then apply the treatment. The fluoride solution is applied directly to the teeth using various methods:


    • Foam or Gel Application: The tray is filled with foam or gel fluoride and placed over the teeth for a few minutes. This ensures that all areas are covered.
    • Varnish Application: Fluoride is applied directly to the surface of teeth with a small brush, allowing it to stay in contact with the teeth longer.

    It is painless and takes only a few moments to apply. Relax as the fluoride is absorbed into your enamel.

  • After-Treatment Care

    You will be asked to refrain from eating, drinking, or rinsing for 30 minutes after the application of fluoride. This ensures that the fluoride can be absorbed fully by your teeth. This ensures the fluoride can penetrate your enamel and strengthen it effectively. After your treatment, Dr. Taft may provide you with customized post-treatment instructions. These instructions could include:


    • Recommendations for maintaining good oral hygiene at home
    • Dietary and lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of tooth decay
    • Fluoride treatment frequency recommendations based on oral health needs

    Follow these guidelines to maximize the benefits of fluoride and protect your teeth against decay.
