Fluoride treatments strengthen the teeth!. Topical fluoride is just as effective for adults as it is for children!. The fluoride treatment that you get at your dentist is a strong dose of fluoride delivered to your teeth!. It is definitely a benefit!. If you cannot afford it, I recommend rinsing daily with a home fluoride rinse (like Act or Fluoriguard)!. After you brush and floss at night - rinse with fluoride!. Do not rinse for at least a half hour after!. Hope this helps! =)Www@Answer-Health@Com
