What is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride treatment involves applying fluoride to the teeth, strengthening tooth enamel and aiding in the prevention of tooth decay. This treatment is available in different forms like gels, foams, or varnishes, commonly administered during dental cleanings or check-ups. By strengthening the enamel, fluoride boosts its ability to resist bacteria and sugars.
