Those who have a high risk of tooth decay, such as those who have poor dental hygiene, a history of cavities, dry mouth, are receiving orthodontic treatment, or have received chemotherapy or radiation therapy, benefit most from fluoride treatments. Nevertheless, fluoride's ability to prevent cavities is beneficial to everyone.

Dental fluorosis occurs when children consume too much fluoride over long periods while their teeth are developing under the gums. This condition is not caused by professional fluoride treatments but by ingesting fluoride, usually from sources like water or dental products. It's important to monitor the amount of fluoride children ingest.

Fluoride treatments are generally safe. Some people might experience a temporary change in taste or mild irritation in their mouth, but serious side effects are rare. Ensuring that fluoride treatments are applied by a professional minimizes the risk of adverse effects.

After a fluoride varnish treatment, it's recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 hours before eating or drinking, and to avoid hard, crunchy, or hot foods and beverages. For fluoride gels or foams, you should not eat or drink for at least 30 minutes following the treatment.

Besides professional treatments, you can get fluoride from over-the-counter toothpaste and mouth rinses. Some people may also benefit from prescription-strength fluoride products, especially if they don't have access to fluoridated water or are at high risk of tooth decay.

Even individuals with excellent oral hygiene can benefit from fluoride treatments, as they provide an additional layer of protection against tooth decay. Discuss with your dentist to determine how fluoride treatments can fit into your overall oral health strategy.

Factors that increase the risk of tooth decay include poor oral hygiene, frequent snacking on sugary foods or drinks, dry mouth, existing cavities, and certain health conditions. Your dentist can assess your risk and recommend appropriate fluoride treatments.
