Fluoride is a natural mineral that can help rebuild tooth enamel thereby reducing the risk of decay and also reverse signs of early decay developing in your tooth. Fluoride treatments can be especially beneficial for people who have a high decay rate, weakened enamel, erosion, dry mouth or exposed roots surfaces. We generally recommend a fluoride treatment every 6 months after your professional teeth cleaning for the best results.
Fluoride treatments at Rideau Dental on 4 th Street only takes a few minutes. We offer two types of dental fluoride treatment – a rinse or a topical varnish. The rinse is swished in your mouth for one minute and the fluoride varnish is painted on your teeth by one of team members. Both the rinse and fluoride varnish come in a variety of fun flavors including pina colada, cola lime and cherry. Our dental hygienists will advise which option is most suitable for you.
