Fluoride Treatment in Winston-Salem, NC

Fluoride is a natural mineral that plays a key role in keeping your teeth strong, especially when it comes to preventing cavities. At Trenton B. Bottoms, DDS, we offer professional fluoride treatments as part of our commitment to conservative, evidence-based preventive care for patients of all ages.

Our Winston-Salem dental office provides a calm, compassionate environment where we personalize every treatment based on your specific risk factors. Whether you're prone to decay or simply want to protect your enamel long term, fluoride can be an excellent, non-invasive way to strengthen your smile.

What Is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride treatment involves applying a concentrated fluoride solution — typically in the form of a gel, varnish, or foam — to your teeth after your dental cleaning and exam. The treatment helps:

• Remineralize early signs of enamel wear
  
• Make teeth more resistant to acid, sugar, and bacteria
  
• Prevent cavities, especially in hard-to-reach areas
  
• Reduce tooth sensitivity in some cases
  
  

It’s quick, painless, and especially effective when paired with other preventive services like sealants for children and teens or nutritional counseling for patients with diet-related concerns.

Who Benefits from Fluoride?

While fluoride is often recommended for children, many adults also benefit from periodic fluoride treatments — especially if they are at higher risk of decay due to:

• Frequent snacking or sugary beverages
  
• Dry mouth (often caused by medications)
  
• Receding gums or early gum disease
  
• Orthodontic appliances like braces or aligners
  
• A history of cavities or recent dental restorations
  
  

If you're searching for a dentist near me who offers personalized fluoride treatments without upselling or pressure, you're in the right place. Dr. Bottoms will evaluate your risk factors and discuss whether fluoride fits your needs as part of a thoughtful, conservative care plan.

Advanced Tools, Personalized Prevention

We use the latest diagnostic technology — like digital X-rays, CBCT imaging, and intraoral cameras — to assess your enamel health with precision. Combined with Dr. Bottoms' honest and transparent treatment philosophy, you'll always know exactly why a fluoride treatment is being recommended and what it means for your long-term dental health.

Our focus is always on prevention first. If we can help you avoid more complex or costly treatment in the future with a simple preventive measure like fluoride, we will.
