How long do the results of fluoride treatment last?
While the fluoride varnish itself will only stay on the teeth until it has been brushed away, the benefits of the treatment will last for several months. In most cases, we recommend undergoing fluoride treatment about once every 3 – 4 months.
Will I be able to eat and/or drink after fluoride treatment?
In order to ensure the best possible results, we recommend patients do not eat or drink for at least 30 minutes after their treatment. This time ensures the fluoride is able to properly settle and protect the teeth.
Does fluoride treatment whiten the teeth?
Yes. In addition to protecting the teeth from cavities and decay, fluoride treatment will also help to whiten the teeth. This ensures our patients' smiles remain healthy and stunning.
