Fluoride Treatment in La Verne, CA
Strengthen Your Teeth and Prevent Cavities
Fluoride treatments are a simple, effective way to protect your teeth from decay and preserve your oral health. At Pearl Dental Group, we offer professional fluoride therapy as part of our preventive dental services for both children and adults in La Verne, Claremont, and San Dimas.
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps rebuild enamel and fight off bacteria. While most people get some fluoride from drinking water and toothpaste, professional fluoride applications deliver a much higher level of protection — especially for patients more prone to cavities.

Who Should Consider Fluoride Treatment?
While fluoride treatments are commonly associated with pediatric dentistry, many adults can also benefit. We may recommend fluoride if you:
- Are at higher risk for cavities or gum recession
- Experience dry mouth or take medications that affect saliva production
- Have exposed tooth roots
- Recently had dental fillings
- Are undergoing orthodontic treatment or wear aligners like Invisalign
Fluoride can also be a helpful addition to your child’s routine dental cleanings, reinforcing their enamel and helping them stay cavity-free as they grow.
What Happens During a Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride treatment is quick, painless, and easily added to your regular dental visit. The process usually takes just a few minutes:
- We apply a fluoride gel, varnish, or foam to your teeth using a swab or tray.
- You’ll be asked to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes to allow the fluoride to absorb.
- That’s it — you’re good to go with stronger, more resilient teeth.
For most patients, fluoride treatments are recommended every 6 to 12 months. Those at higher risk for decay may benefit from more frequent applications.
Fluoride Treatment for Kids
Children especially benefit from fluoride treatments as their teeth develop. Our pediatric dentistry services include fluoride as part of a comprehensive preventive care plan. We use kid-friendly flavors and a gentle approach that helps your child feel comfortable and confident at the dentist.
We also offer sealants for additional protection on hard-to-brush back molars — a great combo with fluoride for long-lasting cavity defense.
