A Simple Step to Protect Your Smile

Fluoride isn’t just for kids. At Philly Smiles, we use professional-grade fluoride treatments to strengthen your enamel, reduce tooth sensitivity, and help prevent cavities — especially in adults with dry mouth, gum recession, or frequent cleanings.

This quick, painless service is part of how we help you maintain a healthier smile for life. Whether it’s been years since your last visit or you’re just looking to enhance your preventive care, fluoride treatment can be a powerful, preventive addition to your routine.

What Is Fluoride and Why Does It Matter?

Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps rebuild and protect the enamel layer of your teeth. It works by:

Remineralizing weakened enamel
Slowing down the progression of early decay
Making teeth more resistant to future cavities

Professional fluoride treatments at Philly Smiles are more concentrated than what you’ll find in toothpaste or water, which means better protection in less time.

Is Fluoride Right for Adults?

Absolutely. Many of our adult patients benefit from fluoride, especially if they have:

Tooth sensitivity
A history of decay or frequent fillings
Gum recession or exposed root surfaces
Dry mouth due to medications
Orthodontic appliances
Multiple crowns or bridges

Fluoride treatments can be done during your regular cleaning and exam and take only a few minutes.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Fluoride treatment is fast, effective, and non-invasive. Here's how it works:

After your cleaning, we apply a thin layer of concentrated fluoride gel or varnish.
It sets quickly — no need to rinse or worry about a long wait.
You may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes afterward.
That’s it. Protection that lasts well beyond your visit.

Our goal is to make every step of your care as simple and stress-free as possible.

FAQs About Fluoride Treatment

How long does fluoride treatment last?

Most in-office fluoride treatments offer protection for several months. Depending on your risk for decay, we may recommend it once or twice per year.

Is fluoride safe for adults?

Yes. Professional fluoride is safe, especially when administered in controlled doses by a trained dental provider.

Will insurance cover fluoride treatment?

Many plans cover fluoride for children, but adult coverage varies. Since we are a fee-for-service practice, we’ll provide clear pricing and help you decide what’s best for your care — regardless of insurance.
