What are the benefits of fluoride treatments?
Fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and make teeth more resistant to decay. They can help prevent cavities, slow the progression of early decay, and even reverse the earliest signs of enamel breakdown. These treatments are especially helpful for children, patients with a higher risk of cavities, or those with sensitive teeth. When combined with daily brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, fluoride provides an added layer of protection for long-term oral health.
Are fluoride treatments safe for patients of all ages?
Fluoride treatments are safe and effective for patients of all ages when provided by a dental professional. Children, teens, and adults can all benefit from the added protection fluoride offers. The amount we use is carefully measured to ensure safety while providing maximum benefit. For patients at higher risk of tooth decay, fluoride is a simple and trusted way to help maintain a healthy smile.
Can I eat or drink right after a fluoride treatment?
After a fluoride treatment, we recommend waiting at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking. This gives the fluoride time to fully absorb into your enamel for the best results. Avoiding food and beverages during this period ensures that the treatment can strengthen your teeth as much as possible. After the wait, you may resume normal eating and drinking without any restrictions.
Does insurance cover fluoride treatments?
Many dental insurance plans cover fluoride treatments, especially for children. However, coverage can vary depending on your provider and policy. For patients without insurance, we include fluoride treatments as part of our in-house membership plan, as a way to help make preventive care more affordable and accessible. Our team is happy to review your coverage and explain your options so you can take advantage of this important preventive service.

If you have obstructive sleep apnea, some of the most common signs include loud snoring, stopping breathing while asleep, gasping for air during sleep, dry mouth on waking, morning headaches, insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia), and mood changes. It’s important to talk with your doctor and/or dentist if you believe you may suffer from sleep apnea.
Can sleep apnea be cured, or is it a manageable condition?
Yes! In many cases, sleep apnea can be either cured or managed depending on the root cause of the disorder. If you’re curious about the options available to you, call our office to schedule your consultation.
Will sleep apnea treatment need to be continued for life?
Many who receive sleep apnea treatment are lifelong patients. The root cause of your sleep apnea will often dictate treatment options and how long you can expect to continue treatment for sleep apnea.
