What the video covers
- Here's a quick look at fluoride treatment, a simple way to help protect your teeth.
- Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens your enamel and helps protect your teeth from cavities.
- It's great for kids, and for adults with sensitive teeth, dry mouth, or a higher risk of cavities.
- After your cleaning, a thin varnish is brushed onto your teeth. It's quick, painless, and only takes a minute.
- The varnish sets right away and keeps strengthening your enamel for hours afterward.
- Afterward, give the varnish time to soak in. Stick to soft foods for a few hours, skip hot drinks today, and wait to brush until tonight.
- Fluoride treatments are usually part of your regular checkups.
- If you have any questions along the way, just ask. Your dental team is always happy to help.
