Fluoride Treatments

While you receive a certain amount of fluoride from your diet and from using toothpaste with fluoride, we may recommend professional treatment as a supplement to other fluoride sources to further strengthen your teeth and prevent cavities.

Yes! Trust the guidance of the qualified and experienced professionals at Stephen Huber, DDS. We can guide you on integrating fluoride toothpaste into your child’s effective home care regimen as their needs change. And fluoride is particularly beneficial while your child’s teeth and oral tissues are developing. Fluoride helps to strengthen your child’s teeth as they grow, which helps to support oral health early on. That way, cavities and even the premature loss of baby teeth, essential to the healthy development of secondary teeth, are avoided.

Absolutely not! Fluoride is a vital part of your hygiene plan, regardless of age. Additional fluoride may be recommended if you are not receiving adequate fluoride from other sources or are at a heightened risk of developing cavities.

Our team in Leawood, Kansas, may recommend professional fluoride treatment during your regular dental check-up. From there, the process is easy, fast, and affordable. Fluoride may be added as a gel, varnish, or foam in a single appointment and can be easily incorporated into regular hygiene appointments. During your visit, we can also discuss specific products and other ways to ensure you get enough fluoride. In turn, we can restore or maintain your teeth’s natural defenses against the bacteria and other harmful substances responsible for destructive decay, eventually leading to tooth loss when not addressed promptly and appropriately.
