What Are Fluoride Treatments?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring substance that is a vital part of many preventive oral health plans. As you go about your day-to-day routine, your enamel can suffer from corrosion as a result of acidic foods, bacteria, stress, and a number of behaviors, including smoking and nail biting. Fluoride helps fight against this corrosion by replacing the necessary minerals your enamel needs to function. These perks of fluoride are acknowledged by the ADA (American Dental Association) and various other important associations, which is why many communities have included fluoride in their water sources to help fight tooth decay. At Dental Arts of Rockland, we happily provide regular fluoride treatments for patients of all ages. To hear more about how fluoride can protect your oral health, schedule an appointment with our dental team in Orangeburg, NY.
What Can I Expect with Fluoride Treatments?
Dental Arts of Rockland offers different fluoride options and varieties to ensure that these treatments are comfortable for all patients. Fluoride treatments are usually performed every six months immediately following a professional cleaning and exam. When your fluoride flavor is chosen, our staff will ready the application as a foam, gel, varnish, or liquid. The treatment will then be kept on the teeth for 1 – 4 minutes, based on the type, to give the formula time to sink into the enamel. To attain optimal benefits from your session, we recommend waiting at least 30 minutes after your fluoride treatment before consuming food or drinking water.

- Protection against cavity and tooth decay

Dental Arts of Rockland Reviews
Perfect combination of art and science. Dr Gellis is kind and very professional. He really knows his stuff and he makes an art of it. He’s quick and accurate. Combining that with the terrific staff makes a wonderful experience. So great that I recommended my spouse and he also had a great experience. We’re so glad we found Dr Gellis.
I can't say enough about how pleased I am with my experience with Dr Gellis. They go above and beyond to create a positive experience. The office is clean and feels like you're at a spa! The office staff is helpful and pleasant. The prices are fair and they offer several payment options. Most importantly the dental work is excellent. Dr. Gellis and his staff truly care about doing everything they can to make you comfortable during your treatment. I'm so thankful that I can rely on them for all my dental needs.
Dr. Gellis and his staff made me feel at ease and recommended a treatment plan that was tailored to my needs. I typically have some anxiety when going to the dentist , due to the sounds of the machinery. However, Dr. Gellis and his staff offered a laundry list of complimentary amenities such as a warm neck pillow, headphones, and warm hand wipe to put my anxieties at ease. They were even able to move up my appointment so that I could receive care sooner and did not need to prolong having my crown installed! Thank you so much for your thoughtful attention to detail and patient centered care approach! I'm already looking forward to my 6m cleaning!
Being a physician who was trained by international leaders in patient care, I expect any care that I receive personally to be of the highest standard, just as I would do. Dr. Gellis and his team are at the top of the pyramid, not only from a technical standpoint, but also in how they treat patients. This is the place to go for the best dentistry available.
Kind and friendly caring atmosphere. .I actually look forward to going to the dentist. But it’s even much more than that. I’ve had bad experiences in the past and because of that have neglected my teeth . They helped me through my anxiety and treated me as if I was someone special. And that’s just it . Every patient to them is special. And every person who works there from Dr Gellis ,Collen , Megan , Randy , whoever you deal with is caring and kind. I wish all medical practices cared the same way.
