How long does a fluoride treatment last and how often do I need it?
A professional fluoride treatment continues protecting your teeth for several months by strengthening enamel after application. Most patients benefit from receiving fluoride every six months during routine cleanings. However, those at higher risk for developing cavities may be advised to schedule treatments more frequently. Dr. Marteeny will recommend a schedule based on your specific oral health needs and cavity risk.
Who is a good candidate for fluoride treatments?
Fluoride treatments are beneficial for children, teens, and adults, especially those prone to cavities or enamel wear. Patients with dry mouth, gum recession, braces, or a history of tooth decay often benefit the most. Even individuals with good oral hygiene can gain extra protection from professional fluoride applications as part of their regular preventive care routine.
Are fluoride treatments covered by dental insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover fluoride treatments for children and teens as part of their routine preventive care; coverage for adults can vary depending on the plan. If insurance does not apply, fluoride treatments tend to be very cost-effective preventive services, and our friendly and knowledgeable team can help you find the most budget-friendly financial option for your family.
