In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Professional fluoride treatments contain a much higher concentration of fluoride than toothpaste or mouth rinses. The treatment is applied as a varnish, gel, foam, or rinse during a dental visit and takes just a few minutes. Fluoride works by remineralizing weakened enamel and making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars. While especially important for children, adults also benefit from professional fluoride applications, particularly those with a history of cavities, dry mouth, or gum recession.
