Strengthen & Protect Your Smile With Preventive Care
Strong enamel is essential for a healthy, long-lasting smile. At The Dental Lounge in Iowa City, IA, we offer professional fluoride treatments to help strengthen teeth, prevent cavities, and protect against enamel erosion.
Fluoride treatments are quick, comfortable, and highly effective for both children and adults — making them an important part of preventive dental care.
What is a Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps rebuild weakened tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay. While small amounts of fluoride are found in toothpaste and drinking water, professional fluoride treatments provide a concentrated level of protection.
This preventive treatment supports enamel remineralization and makes teeth more resistant to cavity-causing bacteria.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
We prioritize comfort and clarity during every visit. Your dental cleaning typically includes:
Teeth Preparation
Your teeth will be gently cleaned and dried to ensure proper fluoride application.
Fluoride Application
A concentrated fluoride varnish, gel, or foam is carefully applied to the surfaces of your teeth.
Quick Absorption
The fluoride bonds to your enamel and begins strengthening your teeth immediately.
Post-Treatment Instructions
We may recommend avoiding eating or drinking for a short period to allow maximum effectiveness.
