Fluoride Treatment in Colorado Springs
At Rogers and Platt Dental, we prioritize your oral health and want to be the reason for your smile. After your dental cleanings, we recommend applying fluoride to your teeth to provide an extra layer of protection. Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens your teeth after the polishing process of the cleanings.
If you would like to give your teeth that additional layer of protection or have any questions regarding fluoride, please give us a call today at (719) 528-6450 to schedule an appointment.
How Fluoride Fends Off Tooth Decay
Fluoride is like a shield for your teeth. When you eat or drink, sugars and starches can leave harmful acids on your teeth. Fluoride steps in and helps rebuild the weakened tooth enamel, the hard outer layer of your teeth. This process not only repairs the enamel but also makes it harder for acids to break it down again. Plus, fluoride can slow down the growth of bacteria that cause cavities and reduce the amount of acid they produce.
Common Concerns
Is fluoride treatment safe for everyone?
Yes, fluoride treatment is generally safe for children and adults. If you have any allergies, concerns, or questions let the dentist know. The doctor will go over with you in detail and answer any questions you may have.
Will fluoride treatment make my teeth look different?
No, fluoride is a clear solution that won’t change the look of your teeth.
This simple mineral is a powerful tool in fighting tooth decay and keeping your smile healthy. Fluoride treatment may be a great option for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything varies on the status of the tooth. The fluoride treatment will not remove a cavity, but it will help to stop the progression of early-stages. However, depending on an individual case, the dentist may need to use other treatments like fillings for advanced cavities to help maintain strong oral health.
Fluoride at our dental office has a better quality and concentration of the solution, making it the best option for fluoride treatment. Some toothpaste and mouthwash may contain fluoride, but it is not the same quality or concentration as what we offer.

In some rare cases, patients may experience an allergic reaction, leading to symptoms such as rash, swelling, and itching. Another possible side effect is for patients to feel slight sensitivity in the tooth and temporary white or brown discoloration on the tooth, which typically fades over time. If you have any concerns about these side effects, please share them with the dentist, and the doctor will be happy to address them.
Yes, fluoride treatment helps strengthen and provides an extra layer of protection, but it does not guarantee that the tooth will not get a cavity. It is important to follow the dentist’s instructions and maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth. Attending regular dental visits is important for the dentist to ensure your teeth are healthy or to provide you with the necessary treatment you need.
