Fluoride Treatment in Tampa, FL

Reinforce your teeth’s natural defenses against decay with fluoride treatment. Located in South Tampa, Wang and Cortes Dental provides fluoride treatments for children and adults alike.

The Importance of Fluoride in Oral Health

Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens the enamel, helping to prevent cavities and protect teeth from decay. Even with diligent brushing and flossing, fluoride treatments provide added protection for those hard-to-reach areas. At Wang and Cortes Dental, our fluoride treatments are a quick, non-invasive way to enhance your dental health and maintain a healthy smile.

Who Benefits from Fluoride Treatments?

Fluoride treatments are beneficial for patients of all ages, especially those who may be more prone to cavities, including:

• Children: Young patients benefit from fluoride as their teeth are still developing, which helps set the foundation for long-term oral health.
• Adults with High Cavity Risk: Some adults are more susceptible to cavities due to lifestyle, dietary habits, or oral conditions.
• Patients with Exposed Roots or Gum Recession: Fluoride helps protect these vulnerable areas from decay.

Our practice serves families throughout South Tampa and nearby neighborhoods, including Manhattan, Waters Ave, Midtown, Ballast Point, Hillsborough, and Tampa Bay.

What to Expect During Your Fluoride Treatment

Receiving a fluoride treatment at Wang and Cortes Dental is simple and quick. Here’s what to expect:

1. Application: We apply a concentrated fluoride solution to your teeth, which can be in the form of a gel, foam, or varnish.
2. Short Treatment Time: The fluoride remains on your teeth for a few minutes to allow it to absorb.
3. Aftercare: We’ll advise you to avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after the treatment to allow maximum fluoride absorption.

Our experienced team, including Dr. William Wang, Dr. Lourdes “Millie” Cortes, Dr. Chad Burton, and Dr. Gibson Boswell, provides fluoride treatments as part of our comprehensive preventive care program, which also includes Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Sealants.
