Fluoride Treatments in Ottawa
Strengthen Your Teeth and Prevent Cavities with Expert Care at Horizons Dental Care
Fluoride is one of the simplest and most powerful tools we have to protect your teeth. At Horizons Dental Care in Ottawa, we offer professional fluoride treatments to help strengthen your enamel, fight decay, and keep your smile healthy for years to come.
Whether for children developing strong permanent teeth or adults looking to maintain excellent oral health, fluoride treatments provide a safe, quick, and effective boost in cavity prevention.
What is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps rebuild and strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque, bacteria, and sugars in the mouth.
During a fluoride treatment, we apply a concentrated fluoride solution directly to your teeth, delivering benefits that go beyond what you can achieve with regular brushing alone.
Who Should Get Fluoride Treatments?
While everyone can benefit from fluoride, professional treatments are especially recommended for:
Children and teens still developing their permanent teeth
Adults with a history of frequent cavities
Patients with dry mouth or gum disease
Individuals with dental restorations like crowns, bridges, or braces
Seniors at higher risk of root decay
The Benefits of Fluoride Treatments
Strengthens tooth enamel
Helps reverse early stages of tooth decay
Provides extra protection for vulnerable areas like gumlines and around restorations
Safe, quick, and painless application
Supports long-term oral health for all ages
What to Expect During a Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatments at Horizons Dental Care are fast and easy, often performed during your regular dental cleaning.
We apply a fluoride gel, foam, or varnish to your teeth.
The fluoride is left on for a few minutes to allow absorption.
You may be advised to avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes afterward for best results.
It’s a simple step that can offer powerful protection for your teeth between visits.
Is Fluoride Treatment Covered by Insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover fluoride treatments for children and sometimes for adults at higher risk of decay. Our team is happy to help you understand your coverage and offer affordable options for fluoride care.
