Fluoride (and Non-Fluoride) Treatments

At Trevino Dental Group, we understand the importance of protecting your teeth against decay and strengthening your oral health. We offer both fluoride and non-fluoride treatments as part of our comprehensive dental care services, ensuring that all our patients have access to the preventive measures that best suit their needs and preferences.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a natural mineral that plays a crucial role in strengthening tooth enamel and fighting off cavity-causing bacteria. Our professional fluoride treatments are quick, easy, and effective in reducing the risk of tooth decay, making them an excellent preventive option for patients of all ages. By replenishing the essential minerals in your enamel, fluoride treatments help to repair early signs of tooth decay and protect your teeth for the future.

Fluoride Treatments

Cavity Prevention

Fluoride treatments are highly effective in preventing cavities by making the tooth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth.

Enamel Repair

Fluoride can help reverse early signs of tooth decay by remineralizing areas where bacteria may have started to break down the tooth's surface.

Suitable for All Ages

Whether for children, whose developing teeth benefit greatly from fluoride, or adults looking to maintain their oral health, fluoride treatments offer protective benefits for everyone.

Non-Fluoride Treatments

For patients who prefer or require an alternative to fluoride, we also offer non-fluoride treatments designed to support enamel health and prevent tooth decay. These treatments utilize calcium and phosphate — natural minerals that, like fluoride, help to remineralize tooth enamel and protect against cavities. Non-fluoride treatments are an effective option for those with specific health concerns, dietary preferences, or allergies.

In addition to non-fluoride prophy paste for routine dental cleanings, we also offer Risewell, a non-fluoride remineralization toothpaste.
