Fluoride & Preventive Treatments for Adults: Keep Your Smile Strong in South OC
San Juan Capistrano, CA
When most people think of fluoride treatments, they picture kids at the dentist. But did you know that fluoride and other preventive treatments are just as important for adults? At Kaban Dental Group in San Juan Capistrano, we help patients from Dana Point, Mission Viejo, San Clemente, and Aliso Viejo protect their teeth from decay and sensitivity at every age.
Why Adults Still Need Fluoride
Stronger Enamel: Fluoride remineralizes teeth, making enamel more resistant to cavities.
Dry Mouth Concerns: Many adults take medications that reduce saliva, increasing cavity risk.
Gum Recession: Exposed roots are more vulnerable to decay—fluoride helps shield them.
Frequent Dental Work: Crowns, fillings, and bridges benefit from fluoride protection.

Professional Preventive Treatments for Adults
1. Fluoride Varnish
Applied after cleanings, fluoride varnish is quick, painless, and protects teeth for months.
2. Dental Sealants
Not just for kids—adults with deep grooves in molars can also benefit from sealants.
3. Nightguards for Grinding
Protects against enamel wear, fractures, and TMJ strain.
4. Antibacterial Rinses & Topical Gels
For patients with gum disease or high cavity risk, these can reduce bacteria levels.
