What Are Fluoride Treatments?
Often a part of preventive oral health routines, fluoride is a beneficial mineral contained in several foods and liquids. As a bonus, it can also be painted topically onto the tooth enamel to offer many dental benefits. Fluoride can protect against decay by allowing the teeth to become less vulnerable to tartar. This mineral also reinforces the tooth's structure to help reduce the first phases of decay. Local areas that put fluoride in water reserves typically have decreased instances of cavities among their residents. These perks of fluoride are recognized by the ADA (American Dental Association) and other notable associations. At Rise and Shine Dentistry, we happily provide professional fluoride treatments for patients of all ages. To learn more about how fluoride may benefit your family's oral health, set up an appointment with Dr. Klein in Rock Hill, SC.
How Are Fluoride Treatments Performed?
Rise and Shine Dentistry offers different fluoride types and flavors to ensure that these services are enjoyable for everyone. Fluoride applications are often performed biannually, promptly following a professional cleaning and dental exam. As soon as your fluoride flavor is chosen, our team will prepare the treatment as either a foam, gel, varnish, or liquid. It will be kept on the enamel for around five minutes, depending on the type of fluoride used, to allow the treatment time to soak into your enamel. To receive the best possible advantages from your treatment, we recommend waiting a minimum of 30 minutes before eating and drinking.
What Are the Benefits of Fluoride Treatments?
Fluoride treatments offer a range of advantages for dental health, allowing for an essential supplement to routine dental care. Some of the many benefits individuals can receive from regular fluoride treatments include:
- Suitable for all ages: Beneficial for people of every age, from kids to older adults
- Can help lessen tooth sensitivity: Fluoride treatment may relieve tooth sensitivity, which is usually triggered by unprotected dentin or receding gums
- Enhances long-term dental health: Fluoride treatment works close at hand with regular oral hygiene habits and routine exams to preserve good dental health and avoid dental concerns
- Cavity protection: Can help ensure teeth are extra protected from decay and cavities
- Healthier tooth enamel: Helps to repair damaged enamel and block additional deterioration
Rise and Shine Dentistry Reviews
Rise and Shine Dentistry has been a life (and tooth) saver. Doctor Klein was very patient and kind while completing a root canal on one of my teeth. He was extremely helpful by helping me with this emergency on his day off. What an extremely kind Doctor. His outstanding service was exceptional. His staff is incredibly kind and helpful as well. Even during inclement weather from Hurricane Helene, one of the staff came in just to help check the condition of my teeth. I was in pain and they responded so quickly. I am extremely satisfied with this dentist. I wish I could give them bonus stars on this rating. Seriously, if you are ever in need of a dentist, I beg you to go to Rise and Shine Dentistry.
It’s like having a cheering squad. 🤗 This a great place to get your mouth and teeth taken cared of. Love having Winnie the little dog to keep a patient calm. Dr. Kline and staff are great!
Dr. Kline and his staff so kind and caring.
Everyone at Rise and Shine is so nice! My dental hygienist, Brooke, and Dr. Klein were great to work with.
I wish I could give more stars!! Absolutely would recommend- From the time I walked in the door, I was greeted by two beautiful smiling women who made the check in a breeze- My dental hygienist was Brooke, she was outgoing, personable, explained everything to me and kept me pain free during my cleaning! Dr. Klein was very kind, knowledgeable and took his time to go over a treatment plan for me before getting Invisalign. I highly recommend this office!!
