Fluoride Treatment in Manhattan, NY
What Are Fluoride Treatments?
Fluoride is a natural element that strengthens the teeth and can help to prevent tooth decay.

Dr. Veytsman generally gives fluoride treatments to patients from 6 months to 16 years, but fluoride treatments may also be given to patients who have a lot of cavities or poor oral health.

Who is a Candidate For Fluoride Treatments?
Kids, teens, and adults can all be ideal candidates for dental fluoride treatments in Manhattan, NY at Cosmetic Dental Studios. Fluoride can help ward off tooth decay in children with new teeth or teens who are less resistant to decay. Children and adults who do not drink fluoridated water might additionally benefit from regular applications. Dr. Veytsman may provide fluoride applications for people at a higher risk of cavities, including individuals who have metal braces or have xerostomia (dry mouth). Fluoride treatments can also help to minimize tooth sensitivity and protect exposed enamel, which is less resistant to cavities.
How Do Fluoride Treatments Work?
Professional fluoride treatments are usually given every 6 months at the patient’s regular cleaning. Dr. Veytsman may use acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) or neutral sodium fluoride, depending on the condition of the patient’s mouth. The fluoride treatment may be given as a gel, foam, or varnish that is applied to dried, clean teeth for 1 – 4 minutes. Due to the high concentration of fluoride in professional treatments, patients should never swallow any of the fluoride.
