Fluoride Treatment in
Ravenswood, Chicago

What Is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps remineralize tooth enamel and prevent cavities. During your appointment, Dr. Renieris or your hygienist applies a concentrated fluoride varnish or gel to your teeth. It takes just a few minutes and provides months of added protection against daily wear, sugar exposure, and acid erosion.

Fluoride is especially effective when paired with regular dental cleanings and exams as part of your overall preventive care routine.

Why You Might Need Fluoride Treatment

While everyone can benefit from fluoride, some patients are more prone to enamel wear or sensitivity. Dr. Renieris may recommend fluoride if you:

• Get cavities frequently
  
• Have sensitive teeth or early enamel loss
  
• Experience dry mouth
  
• Wear braces or aligners
  
• Drink acidic beverages or have a high-sugar diet
  

Regular fluoride treatments can help prevent small problems from turning into larger, more costly ones — keeping your smile healthy and strong for years to come.

Simple, Safe, and Quick

Your fluoride treatment takes just a few minutes and is completely painless. After cleaning your teeth, we’ll apply a gentle fluoride varnish or gel using a soft brush or tray. You’ll be asked to avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes afterward so it can fully absorb.
