We customize every sedation plan to your comfort and safety.

Using Fluoride to Protect Your Teeth
Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening tooth enamel and resisting acid damage.

Topical (toothpaste, mouthwash, in-office treatments): Protects existing teeth
Fast and painless
Post-treatment: no food/drink for 30 minutes
May be recommended every 3, 6, or 12 months
