Fluoride Treatment in Hawthorne, CA

Strengthening Smiles with Preventive Care

At Schnierow Dental Care, we believe prevention is the key to long-term oral health. A simple yet highly effective way to prevent cavities is through professional fluoride treatment. Fluoride helps remineralize enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay and less prone to sensitivity.

We provide fluoride applications for both children and adults throughout Hawthorne, Lawndale, Del Aire, Alondra Park, Inglewood, Torrance, and nearby Los Angeles communities.

Why Fluoride Treatment Matters

Daily brushing and flossing protect your teeth, but they can’t always fully prevent decay. A professional fluoride application can:

  • Reinforce weakened enamel
  • Reverse early stages of tooth decay before cavities form
  • Reduce tooth sensitivity
  • Offer added protection for patients with braces or restorations
  • Provide an extra layer of defense for children’s developing teeth

What to Expect During a Fluoride Visit

Our fluoride applications are quick, comfortable, and safe. The process usually includes:

  1. Cleaning the teeth to remove plaque and food particles
  2. Applying a concentrated fluoride solution in gel, foam, or varnish form
  3. Allowing the solution to remain on teeth for a few minutes for maximum absorption
  4. Offering post-treatment guidance, such as avoiding food or drink for a short period afterward

The entire process takes only a few minutes and can be completed during a routine Dental Cleaning & Exam.

Who Benefits Most from Fluoride Treatment

While all patients can benefit from fluoride, it is especially helpful for:

  • Children with developing teeth
  • Patients prone to cavities
  • Individuals with dry mouth or reduced saliva flow
  • Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment
  • Adults with multiple restorations or crowns
