Fluoride Treatment in Northwest Oklahoma City

Fortifying Your Smile with Targeted Protection

Fluoride is a natural mineral that plays a crucial role in defending teeth against decay. While it’s commonly found in toothpaste and some community water systems, professional fluoride treatments deliver stronger protection — especially for children, teens, and adults with higher cavity risk.

At Legacy Family Dentistry, Dr. Armin Zarkeshan offers fluoride as part of a personalized preventive plan. Whether you’re bringing in your child for their routine visit or need extra support for sensitive or vulnerable teeth, we tailor treatment to your needs in a gentle, patient-first environment.

Who Benefits Most from Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride can benefit almost everyone, but it’s especially helpful for:

• Children still developing their permanent teeth
  
• Patients with frequent cavities
  
• People with dry mouth or reduced saliva flow
  
• Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment (like Invisalign)
  
• Adults with exposed tooth roots or enamel erosion
  
• Seniors prone to decay near the gumline
  

As part of your regular dental exam and cleaning, Dr. Armin may recommend fluoride varnish or gel based on your age, risk factors, and lifestyle.

How Professional Fluoride Treatment Works

The process is quick, painless, and can be added to your routine dental visit. Here’s what you can expect:

1. We apply a concentrated fluoride varnish or gel to your teeth.
   
2. It stays on the enamel for a few minutes, absorbing into the surface.
   
3. You’ll avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes to allow full absorption.
   

This treatment helps remineralize weakened enamel, reverse early signs of decay, and make your teeth more resistant to future damage — all in under 5 minutes.
