Fluoride Treatment in Jacksonville, FL
Fluoride is a safe, proven way to strengthen enamel and reduce your risk of cavities. At EverySmile Dental Riverside, we offer professional fluoride treatments as part of our preventive care services. Whether you’re an adult dealing with early enamel wear or a parent helping your child stay cavity-free, fluoride can make a big difference.
As your local dentist in Jacksonville FL, we tailor fluoride recommendations based on your risk level, age, and oral health history — no one-size-fits-all treatment here.
What Is Fluoride and Why Is It Important?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps:
- Remineralize enamel weakened by acid or bacteria
- Prevent new cavities from forming
- Slow or reverse early tooth decay
- Reduce sensitivity in vulnerable areas
Even if you brush with fluoride toothpaste, professional treatments use a higher concentration that’s more effective in targeted areas.
Who Can Benefit from Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride isn’t just for kids. While it's especially important for growing smiles, many adults benefit as well.
You may benefit from fluoride if you:
- Are prone to cavities
- Have gum recession or exposed root surfaces
- Experience tooth sensitivity
- Have dry mouth or take medications that reduce saliva
- Wear braces or dental appliances
- Are undergoing cancer treatment affecting your oral health
How It Works
Fluoride treatments are quick, painless, and typically completed during your regular cleaning appointment.
What to Expect:
That’s it — no drilling, no discomfort, just added protection.
- We apply a fluoride varnish or gel directly to your teeth
- The application takes less than 2 minutes
- You’ll be advised to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes afterward
That’s it — no drilling, no discomfort, just added protection.
How Often Should You Get a Fluoride Treatment?
Most patients benefit from fluoride once every six months. Some may need more frequent applications depending on their cavity risk and oral health status.
We’ll discuss what’s best for your smile during your exam and build it into your personalized care plan.
