Fluoride Treatment in Midvale
At Morgan and Presley Dental, we prioritize your oral health and want to be the reason for your smile. After your dental cleanings, we recommend applying fluoride to your teeth to provide extra protection. Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens your teeth.
If you would like to give your teeth added protection or have any questions regarding fluoride, please give us a call today at (801) 561-9999 to schedule an appointment.
How Fluoride Fends Off Tooth Decay
Fluoride is like a shield for your teeth. The harmful bacteria on your teeth produce acid, which causes demineralization and cavities. Fluoride steps in and helps rebuild the weakened tooth enamel, the hard outer layer of your teeth. This process not only repairs the enamel but also makes it harder for acids to break it down again. Plus, fluoride can slow down the growth of bacteria that cause cavities and reduce the amount of acid they produce.
Common Concerns
Is fluoride treatment safe for everyone?
Yes, fluoride treatment is generally safe for children and adults. If you have any allergies, concerns, or questions let the dentist know. The doctor will go over with you in detail and answer any questions you may have.
Will fluoride treatment make my teeth look different?
No, fluoride is a clear solution that won’t change the look of your teeth.
This simple mineral is a powerful tool in fighting tooth decay and keeping your smile healthy. Fluoride treatment may be a great option for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
The frequency may depend on the oral health of the patient. Typically, it is recommended to apply fluoride to your teeth after every cleaning, which is usually scheduled every six months.
Fluoride has the ability to remineralize tooth structure; therefore, some early cavities may be stopped. Once a cavity has gone through the enamel, a restoration is required.
We use prescription-strength Neutral Sodium Fluoride Varnish in our office, which is not available over-the-counter. Some toothpaste and mouthwash may contain fluoride, but they do not have the same effective concentrations or delivery (varnish) that we offer.
No, fluoride is lightly spread on each tooth to provide an extra layer of protection. The process is quick and painless.
Yes, fluoride treatment is actually beneficial in helping to reduce tooth sensitivity.
Yes, children can benefit from fluoride treatment to strengthen and provide extra protection to their developing teeth. Fluoride varnish should be applied when the teeth first erupt, then 2-4 times per year as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. This helps make them less prone to tooth decay.
No, fluoride is a simple treatment that only focuses on strengthening the teeth and adding extra protection to the teeth. If you are concerned about how fluoride treatment may affect your other dental treatments, you can share all your concerns with the dentist, and the doctor will be happy to address them.
Since fluoride is naturally found in some foods and water, it would be rare to have an allergic reaction. However, in some rare cases, patients may experience an allergic reaction. If you have any concerns about these side effects, please share them with the dentist, and the doctor will be happy to address them.
Yes, fluoride treatment helps harden the enamel and provides extra protection, but it does not guarantee that the tooth will not get a cavity. It is important to follow the dentist’s instructions and maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth. Attending regular dental visits is important for the dentist to ensure your teeth are healthy or to provide you with the necessary treatment you need.
No, fluoride treatment is a safe procedure for both children and adults, making it an excellent solution to strengthen the teeth and provide extra protection to help maintain their health as much as possible.
