Fluoride Treatment in Minneapolis, MN

Strengthen and Protect Your Smile with Professional Fluoride Treatments
Keeping your teeth strong and resistant to decay is essential for long-term oral health.

Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens teeth, making it an effective preventive measure for patients of all ages.
Gentle, High-Quality Preventive Care for Strong, Healthy Teeth
Led by Dr. Robert Springer, our Uptown Minneapolis practice provides gentle, high-quality preventive care in a welcoming environment. Whether you are looking to prevent cavities or reinforce weakened enamel, fluoride treatments can help keep your teeth healthy and strong.
What Is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps remineralize tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid and bacteria. While fluoride is commonly found in toothpaste and public water supplies, professional fluoride treatments provide a concentrated dose for maximum protection.
This quick, non-invasive treatment is ideal for patients who:
- Are prone to cavities
- Have sensitive teeth
- Experience dry mouth, which increases the risk of decay
- Have weakened enamel due to acid erosion
Fluoride treatments are beneficial for both children and adults, helping to prevent tooth decay and maintain a strong, healthy smile.
How Fluoride Treatment Works
A professional fluoride application is a simple and painless process:
- Teeth Cleaning – Before applying fluoride, we perform a thorough dental cleaning to remove plaque and debris.
- Fluoride Application – A high-strength fluoride gel, foam, or varnish is applied to the teeth.
- Quick Absorption – The fluoride is left on for a few minutes to allow absorption into the enamel.
- Post-Treatment Care – Patients are advised to avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes to allow the fluoride to fully penetrate.
The treatment is fast and requires no downtime, making it an easy way to boost enamel strength and prevent cavities.
The Benefits of Fluoride Treatment
- Strengthens Tooth Enamel – Helps protect against acid erosion and decay.
- Reduces Cavity Risk – Provides an extra layer of defense against harmful bacteria.
- Minimizes Tooth Sensitivity – Strengthens enamel to reduce discomfort from hot or cold foods.
- Safe for All Ages – Beneficial for children, teens, and adults who want to maintain strong teeth.
Regular fluoride treatments, combined with daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental exams, provide the best protection against cavities.
Fluoride Treatment for Kids
Children are especially susceptible to cavities, making fluoride treatments a key part of pediatric dental care. Fluoride helps:
- Strengthen developing teeth
- Protect against early childhood cavities
- Reduce future dental treatment needs
For kids and teens, professional fluoride applications can provide long-term protection as their teeth continue to develop.
