Fluoride treatments are dental interventions designed to prevent tooth decay and strengthen enamel. Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, helps demineralize areas of the tooth that have started to demineralize due to acid exposure. Treatments typically involve applying a fluoride gel, foam, or varnish directly to the teeth. These treatments are particularly beneficial for individuals at high risk for cavities, including children and those with a history of dental issues. Regular fluoride treatments, combined with good oral hygiene practices, can significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay and promote long-term dental health.
