Fluoride treatment is a preventive dental procedure that helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect teeth from cavities. Fluoride is a natural mineral that supports the process of remineralization, which helps repair early signs of tooth decay and strengthens the outer layer of the teeth. Professional fluoride treatments are often recommended for both children and adults who are at risk of developing cavities.

During the treatment, a dentist or dental hygienist applies a concentrated fluoride solution directly to the teeth. The fluoride may be in the form of a gel, foam, varnish, or rinse. This solution helps strengthen the enamel and makes the teeth more resistant to acids produced by bacteria and sugary foods.
