Fluoride Treatment Mississauga

Have you ever had a fluoride treatment? At Smile Horizons Dental Arts in Mississauga, fluoride is offered during your routine cleanings and exams. Fluoride helps strengthen your teeth and offers an added layer of protection against cavities.

What Is Fluoride?

Fluoride is a natural mineral found in water, certain foods, and dental products like toothpaste. Some people may not get enough fluoride from daily sources, so additional treatments at the dentist can help keep teeth strong.

Fluoride works by supporting the enamel on your teeth and helping prevent harmful bacteria from causing damage. You can also boost your fluoride intake by drinking fluoridated water or using fluoride toothpaste.

How Often Should You Get Fluoride Treatments?

Fluoride treatments are typically recommended every 3, 6, or 12 months depending on your cavity risk. When you visit Smile Horizons Dental Arts for your cleaning or exam, our team can help determine how often fluoride would be beneficial for you.

If you tend to get cavities more often, you may benefit from more frequent fluoride applications.

Are Fluoride Treatments Just for Children?

Fluoride is commonly recommended for children, but adults can also benefit. Anyone who experiences frequent cavities or wants extra protection may find fluoride treatments helpful.

Fluoride supports enamel strength and can help lower the chances of developing cavities. If you’re unsure whether fluoride treatments are right for you, our team at Smile Horizons Dental Arts can guide you.
