Fluoride Treatment in Richmond
Extra Protection for a Healthier Smile
Fluoride is one of the easiest ways to help protect your teeth—especially if you’re prone to cavities or have enamel that’s starting to wear down. It’s quick, painless, and often part of your routine cleaning.
At Affinity Dental Clinic, we offer fluoride treatments for both kids and adults. It’s a simple step, but one that can make a real difference over time.
How It Works
After your cleaning, we apply a thin layer of fluoride directly to the teeth. It soaks in fast—usually less than a minute—and helps strengthen the enamel, making it more resistant to decay.
You might be asked to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes afterward, but that’s about it. There’s no discomfort, no recovery, and no downtime.
Who Can Benefit
Fluoride is especially helpful for children, seniors, and anyone with a history of cavities. It can also support people with sensitive teeth or early signs of enamel wear.
Not everyone needs fluoride at every visit, but when it’s recommended, we’ll explain why—and let you decide how to move forward.
FAQ
Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
At Affinity Dental, we believe that informed patients make confident decisions. Whether you’re visiting us for the first time or you’re a long-time patient, we’re here to make your dental experience smooth and stress-free.
Is fluoride safe?
Yes. The amount we use in-office is carefully controlled and approved by dental health authorities. It’s different from the fluoride found in toothpaste or tap water—more concentrated, but professionally applied.
Do adults need fluoride too?
Sometimes, yes. Adults with gum recession, enamel erosion, or ongoing sensitivity can benefit from fluoride the same way children do.
How long does it take?
Just a minute or two. You’ll be asked not to rinse or eat right away, but there’s no recovery or downtime.
