At North Bay Smiles, helping families in the Petaluma, CA area achieve and maintain optimal oral health is our top priority. We provide a wide array of preventive services designed to help keep your family’s smiles disease- and cavity-free, including fluoride treatment.
Fluoride is one of the most effective agents that we have available to help prevent issues such as cavities and tooth decay. It is a mineral that works by strengthening the tooth enamel so it is more resistant to decay from plaque and bacteria. Fluoride treatment for cavity prevention can be used in two ways—topical or systemic:
Fluoride treatments are a great, economical way to prevent cavities, and may be recommended if you or your child has one or more of the following:
Fluoride treatment alone cannot prevent tooth decay. However, combined with brushing twice per day, flossing daily, a healthy diet, and routine visits to the dentist for cleanings and check-ups, fluoride can be a great way to help keep your family’s smiles healthy and disease-free.

Our office serves patients in the Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Cotati, Santa Rosa, Novato, and neighboring areas and we look forward to seeing your family’s healthy smiles!
