Strengthen Your Enamel, Protect Your Smile

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps reverse the early stages of tooth decay. While fluoride is found in most public water supplies and many toothpastes, professional fluoride treatments deliver a much higher concentration directly to your teeth — providing superior protection.

At Accent Family Dentistry in Angier, NC, we apply professional fluoride varnish at the end of every preventive visit. The treatment takes just minutes and is comfortable for patients of all ages.

Fluoride is especially important for children whose teeth are still developing, but adults with dry mouth, exposed root surfaces, a history of frequent cavities, or orthodontic appliances also benefit significantly from professional fluoride applications.

Who Benefits Most from Professional Fluoride?

While all patients benefit from fluoride, certain groups are at higher risk for cavities and benefit most from professional treatments: children and teenagers, patients with dry mouth (xerostomia), patients with gum recession exposing root surfaces, patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, patients with a history of frequent cavities, and patients with crowns, bridges, or other restorations.

Is Fluoride Safe?

Yes. Fluoride has been used safely in dentistry for over 70 years and is endorsed by the American Dental Association, the World Health Organization, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Professional fluoride varnish is applied in very small amounts and is safe for patients of all ages, including young children.

After your fluoride treatment, we recommend waiting 30 minutes before eating or drinking to allow the fluoride to fully absorb into your enamel.
