Fluoride treatment is a preventive dental procedure that strengthens tooth enamel and helps protect against decay. It involves applying concentrated fluoride, usually in the form of gel, foam, varnish, or rinse, directly to the teeth. Fluoride works by remineralizing weakened enamel, making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque and bacteria. Dentists often recommend fluoride treatments for children, adults at higher risk of cavities, or patients with exposed root surfaces. Quick and painless, the treatment reduces cavity formation, supports long-term oral health, and complements daily use of fluoride toothpaste and regular dental hygiene practices.
