Fluoride treatment in Napa, CA

What is a fluoride treatment?

A fluoride treatment is a quick, concentrated layer of fluoride applied to your teeth, usually right after a cleaning. At Bevan Dental, fluoride treatment in Napa takes just a few minutes and helps your enamel resist the acids that cause cavities.

Who benefits from fluoride

• People who get cavities often
• Anyone with a dry mouth, including from medications
• People with exposed roots from gum recession
• Anyone with sensitive teeth
• Patients with crowns, bridges, or other dental work to protect

What to expect

After your cleaning, we paint a thin layer of fluoride onto your teeth. It's quick and painless. We'll ask you to wait about 30 minutes before eating or drinking so the fluoride can do its work.

Fluoride and sensitive teeth

Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and exposed root surfaces, which can reduce sensitivity to hot and cold. For stubborn sensitivity, we may also apply a desensitizing treatment in the office.

Part of a bigger prevention plan

Fluoride works best alongside regular exams, good habits at home, and dental sealants on deep grooves. If an early cavity does appear, we may be able to treat it with no-drill fillings.

“I'd rather tell you the truth than talk you into something. If you're nervous, we slow down and keep things gentle. If something can wait, I'll tell you it can wait. After more than 25 years, I've learned that being honest and gentle is its own kind of warmth.”
