Fluoride Treatment in Kelso, WA
Tooth decay is caused by acid-producing bacteria called plaque, which will collect around your teeth and gums.
Brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits are helpful to get rid of a lot of this plaque, but fluoride treatments help prevent plaque and can repair teeth in the earliest stages of tooth decay.
Below are some factors that increase your risk of tooth decay and increase the need for fluoride treatment:
- Poor oral hygiene
- Lack of regular professional dental care
- Active orthodontic treatments
- Exposed root surfaces of teeth
- Poor diet
- Existing restorations
Fluoride treatments are quick, simple, and painless. We apply a fluoride varnish or gel to your teeth, which is left on for a few minutes to allow for maximum absorption. After the treatment, you may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for a short period.
