Fluoride treatments at the dentist are common for children; children typically don’t have the best oral hygiene habits, after all, and need all the help they can get.
Here is what Dr. Sachs had to say regarding fluoride treatments for adults:
“I do feel some adults benefit from Fluoride. I have many adults that get decay and have root sensitivity. I think Fluoride will help them. Sometimes I send them home with a rinse or brush on Fluoride gel. For patients undergoing radiation to the head and neck, I make Fluoride trays and have them use it at home. I have very few that I give treatments in the office.”
