What is Fluoride Treatment?
Incorporated into many oral health regimens, fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in various foods and water. Its application directly to the teeth can offer numerous benefits for oral health. Fluoride acts as a shield against cavities by reducing the teeth's vulnerability to acidic attacks and can even repair the early stages of tooth decay by strengthening the enamel. Communities that include fluoride in their water supply often experience a decrease in dental cavities, a fact supported by the American Dental Association (ADA) and other esteemed organizations. At Leah Thompson Gagnon, DMD, PA, we proudly provide fluoride treatments for patients of all ages, enhancing the dental health of both adults and children. For more information on how fluoride can benefit your and your family's oral health, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Leah Gagnon in Niceville, FL.
What Happens During a Fluoride Treatment?
Leah Thompson Gagnon, DMD, PA provides a mix of fluoride types and flavors to ensure that these services are easy for everyone. Fluoride applications are often performed twice-yearly immediately following a cleaning and dental exam. When your fluoride flavor is picked, we will ready the application as a liquid, gel, foam, or varnish. Based on the formulation, the treatment will remain on the enamel for 1 – 4 minutes to allow the treatment time to penetrate your enamel. To attain the best possible advantages from your treatment, you might need to wait a minimum of 30 minutes before snacking or drinking beverages.

Leah Thompson Gagnon, DMD, PA Reviews
I was greeted by her friendly, efficient staff in her updated reception area. Escorted back to treatment room by the hygienist who would be working on me today. She reviewed my medical information and interviewed me about any concerns I might have. My teeth were cleaned well & adult fluoride varnish applied. All in all, I had a very pleasant experience.
