Fluoride treatments are painless and can be administered in your dentist’s office at your twice-yearly check-ups and cleanings. Your dentist will distribute fluoridated gel, foam, or varnish into a tray and place it over your teeth. The treatment only takes a few minutes and is only required between one and four times per year.
To maximize your fluoride treatments, the ADA recommends supplementing your fluoridated drinking water or fluoride treatments with a fluoridated toothpaste.
