Fluoride Treatments & Sealants In St. George
Strengthen teeth and protect against cavities with simple, effective prevention.
At SmileArt, we believe prevention is the best approach to lifelong oral health. Fluoride treatments and dental sealants are two safe, effective ways to give your teeth an extra layer of defense against decay. These simple, painless treatments are especially helpful for children and teens but can benefit adults too.
What Are Fluoride Treatments?
Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens enamel and makes it more resistant to acid attacks from food, drinks, and bacteria. At your cleaning appointment, we may recommend a professional fluoride application — a quick, painless step that helps lower cavity risk and keeps teeth strong between visits.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the deep grooves of back teeth (molars and premolars). Since these areas are hardest to keep clean, sealants block food and bacteria from getting trapped — lowering the chance of decay. The process is fast, comfortable, and doesn’t require numbing or drilling.
Who Benefits Most?
- Children and teens: Newly erupted permanent molars are especially cavity-prone.
- Adults: Patients with deep grooves, a history of decay, or higher cavity risk.
- Anyone wanting extra protection: Sealants and fluoride are smart add-ons for stronger defense.
Benefits of Fluoride & Sealants

- Quick, painless, and affordable

Frequently Asked Questions
Are fluoride treatments safe?
Yes. Fluoride has been used for decades to safely strengthen enamel and reduce cavities. Professional application ensures the right amount is delivered.
How long do sealants last?
Sealants can protect teeth for several years. We check them at every visit and can reapply as needed.
Will my child still need to brush and floss?
Absolutely! Sealants and fluoride don’t replace brushing, flossing, or healthy eating — they work best as part of a complete prevention plan.
Do adults really need these treatments?
Yes. Adults with higher cavity risk, dry mouth, or deep grooves in molars can benefit from both fluoride and sealants.
