Strengthening Enamel and Preventing Cavities
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to the acids produced by bacteria in your mouth. Professional fluoride treatments deliver a much higher concentration of fluoride than toothpaste or drinking water, providing superior protection against cavities.
Fluoride treatment is particularly beneficial for children (whose developing teeth benefit most from fluoride protection), adults with a history of cavities, patients with dry mouth, those undergoing orthodontic treatment, and patients with exposed root surfaces. We apply fluoride as a varnish, gel, or foam — the process takes just a few minutes and is completely painless.
We serve patients throughout Chagrin Falls, Bainbridge, Auburn, Solon, Twinsburg, Aurora, and Moreland Hills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is fluoride treatment safe?
Yes. Professional fluoride treatments are safe for patients of all ages when used as directed. The amount of fluoride used in a professional treatment is carefully controlled and poses no health risk.
How long does fluoride treatment take?
The application itself takes just a few minutes. We typically ask patients to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes after treatment to allow the fluoride to fully absorb.
Does my child need fluoride treatment?
Yes. Fluoride treatment is especially important for children, whose developing teeth benefit most from fluoride protection. We recommend fluoride treatment at every preventive visit for children.
