What Is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay. It works by remineralizing weakened areas of enamel, making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque and bacteria.
How Fluoride Treatment Works
- Applied as a gel, foam, or varnish during a dental visit
- Takes only a few minutes, with no discomfort
- Helps reverse early signs of decay and strengthens enamel
- Ideal for both children and adults, especially those prone to cavities
Fluoride treatments are particularly beneficial for patients with a history of cavities, dry mouth, or orthodontic appliances that make cleaning more difficult.

What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) to prevent cavities. These areas are more prone to decay because their deep grooves trap food and bacteria, making them harder to clean with regular brushing.
How Sealants Protect Teeth
- Creates a smooth, protective barrier over enamel
- Prevents plaque and food buildup in deep grooves
- Lasts for several years with proper oral care
- Painless and quick application, completed in one visit
Sealants are most commonly recommended for children and teenagers as their permanent molars come in, but they can also benefit adults who are cavity-prone.
Who Should Get Fluoride & Sealants?
These treatments are recommended for:
- Children & teens to protect newly erupted permanent teeth
- Adults prone to cavities or with weakened enamel
- Patients with dry mouth (xerostomia), which increases cavity risk
- People with braces or dental work that makes cleaning difficult
If you’re unsure whether fluoride or sealants are right for you or your child, our team will assess your dental health and provide personalized recommendations.
Are Fluoride & Sealants Covered by Insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover fluoride treatments for children and may provide partial coverage for sealants. We can verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage before treatment.
For patients without insurance, we offer affordable preventive care options to ensure you receive the protection your teeth need.
