The Fluoride Treatment Process

01

Assessment

During your dental visit, Dr. Sidlowski will assess your oral health to determine if you would benefit from fluoride treatments. She will consider factors like your dental history, age, and risk for cavities.

02

Application

Once it's determined that fluoride treatment is beneficial, the fluoride is applied directly to your teeth using a gel, foam, or varnish. This process is quick, painless, and typically takes just a few minutes.

03

Aftercare

After the fluoride has been applied, it’s important to avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes. This allows the fluoride to fully absorb into your teeth, providing maximum protection.
