Fluoride Treatment In Downtown Toronto
Fluoride is one of the simplest and most effective tools we have for preventing tooth decay. It works by making enamel more resistant to acid attacks, which are the start of most cavities. Children benefit because their teeth are still developing, but many adults also rely on fluoride to lower their risk, especially if they’ve had cavities before.
How The Treatment Works
After your cleaning, a concentrated fluoride gel or varnish is applied directly to the teeth. It only takes a few minutes and doesn’t hurt. Once it’s on, the fluoride absorbs into the enamel, reinforcing areas that may be showing early weakness. Patients often describe it as quick and easy — something that barely interrupts their visit but pays off over time.
Who Should Consider It
Kids and teens, since their teeth are still forming
Adults with a history of frequent cavities
Patients with braces, where cleaning is harder
Seniors with exposed root surfaces that are more vulnerable to decay
Even if your teeth look and feel fine, fluoride adds protection where brushing and flossing can’t always reach.
Why It Matters
Cavities usually don’t appear overnight. They start small, often in places you can’t see. Fluoride treatment strengthens the tooth structure before damage takes hold, helping you avoid fillings and more complex treatment later.
