Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps protect and strengthen your teeth—making it an important part of long-term oral health. At The Center of Dentistry in Timonium, MD, we offer professional fluoride treatments to support patients of all ages in preventing cavities and maintaining strong enamel between visits.

Whether it’s part of a child’s routine cleaning or added protection for adults with higher cavity risk, fluoride can be a simple and effective addition to your preventive care plan.

What Does Fluoride Do?

Every day, your teeth go through a process of gaining and losing minerals. Fluoride helps restore what’s lost and makes your enamel more resistant to acid and bacteria.

Professional fluoride treatments:

• Help prevent cavities
  
• Rebuild early areas of weakened enamel
  
• Slow or stop early decay
  
• Protect sensitive teeth
  
• Support oral health for kids, adults, and seniors alike
  

These treatments are quick, safe, and typically done right after your cleaning—no extra appointment needed.

Who Benefits from Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride isn’t just for kids. While children benefit from fluoride during the development of their adult teeth, adults can also benefit—especially if they have:

• A history of cavities
  
• Dry mouth
  
• Gum recession or sensitive roots
  
• Braces, crowns, or bridges
  
• Medical conditions or medications that affect oral health
  

We’ll talk through your risk factors and let you know if fluoride treatment is recommended for you or your child.

What to Expect During a Fluoride Appointment

Fluoride treatment is quick and easy. After your cleaning:

1. We’ll apply a fluoride varnish or gel to your teeth
   
2. You’ll avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes to let it fully absorb
   
3. That’s it—added protection in just a few minutes
   

We’ll also discuss whether an at-home fluoride rinse or prescription-strength toothpaste might be beneficial for your routine.
