Fluoride Treatment
Unlock the secret to stronger, healthier teeth with our specialized Fluoride Treatments. Trust Thomas Dentistry for a smile that not only looks good but feels good too.

Understanding Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment stands as a cornerstone in dental care, especially here at Thomas Dentistry in Kirkland. It’s a simple yet effective procedure that involves the application of a fluoride solution to your teeth. This mineral helps rebuild weakened tooth enamel, making your teeth more resistant to decay and cavities.
Many people think fluoride treatment is just for kids, but it’s beneficial for adults too. Whether you’re dealing with sensitive teeth or want to take a proactive approach to dental health, fluoride treatment offers a quick and painless way to enhance your oral care routine.
At Thomas Dentistry, we prioritize your dental health. That’s why we offer customized fluoride treatments that cater to the unique needs of each patient. Our expert team in Kirkland ensures that you receive the most effective treatment, setting you on the path to a healthier, brighter smile.
How Much Time Does Fluoride Treatment Take?
Wondering how much time you’ll need to set aside for a fluoride treatment? At Thomas Dentistry, we understand that your time is valuable. That’s why we’ve streamlined our fluoride treatment process to be both efficient and effective. Typically, a fluoride treatment takes just a few minutes to apply, making it a quick addition to your regular dental check-up.
The fluoride gel or varnish is applied directly to the teeth and left on for a short period, usually around 1 to 4 minutes. After the treatment, it’s generally advised to avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes to allow the fluoride to fully absorb. This brief waiting period ensures that you get the maximum benefit from the treatment.

Wondering about the cost of fluoride treatment? The cost can vary depending on your specific needs and insurance coverage. However, we strive to make our treatments affordable and offer various payment options to fit your budget. Investing in fluoride treatment is a proactive step in maintaining your dental health. Preventive measures like fluoride treatment can save you money in the long run. Feel free to contact our office for a more detailed cost estimate tailored to your needs.

Tyler D
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“I just started going here this year after bouncing around different dentist for years and have had a great experience each visit. I have had everything from cleaning, fillings, root canal, crown and they have all gone well. The office is nice, conveniently located and has off street parking. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Jaswal is excellent, takes his time not only with his work but explaining what you have going on, your options etc. Overall only good things to say about this place and definitely recommend it.”
Mary Berry
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“Very incompetent doctor dr. Thomas is after money. Don't believe anything he is saying. Other doctors are all recent college graduates with no experience. Don't trust them. Get a second opinion or just go some place else get your teeth done.”
TJ Burke
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“Love the care, personnel and extra special treatment I receive with every visit. Best dentist I have ever had!”
Edward Estrada
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“Efficient and kind staff! I went through a period of dental anxiety and my transition to this office was smooth and uneventful. They have decent hours, good parking, a great playlist, and refer to good endodontists. What’s not to love? ❤️”
Patrick Dion
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“Best dentist I’ve ever been to. Not only are they prompt and quick but they walk you through your care clearly and explain the how’s and why’s. For once if feels like having an office that has a comprehensive plan for me rather than me checking a box every year. The hygienists are empowered to spend time with you and even book appointments with them right in the chair. Could not recommend more.”
Linda Scott
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“I visited Thomas Dentistry as a new patient on 9/9/21 and was impressed with their friendliness and professionalism. While there, multiple staff joined in to help resolve a personal issue, for which I was very appreciative. My husband and I will definitely schedule again with Thomas Dentistry Kirkland, and I’ll recommend them to family and friends.”
Faith Hutcherson
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“Really enjoyed my experience here for a teeth whitening. The Kirkland location is great; it’s close to the freeway so it’s easy to find, and there was designated parking for patients. The staff (I’m talking from front desk to assistants to the doctor) were all very friendly and extremely efficient. I was talked through what they were doing so I felt at ease the entire time.”
Nelda Pettit
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“I have been a patient of Dr. Thomas since he began his practice. He is thorough in his exams, and professional in his treatments. He has done root canals, implants, and crowns for me, and the results have always been very good.”

Madeleine Dow
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“Dr. Nguyen and the dental hygienists are super nice! I felt comfortable and safe—even the time I started crying when I had a panic attack before getting some cavities filled. (Sorry about that lol.) Anyways, Dr. Nguyen was very kind, gave me space to chill out, and didn’t make me feel embarrassed, even though I wouldn’t have blamed him if he did.”

What Are the Benefits of Fluoride Treatment at Thomas Dentistry?
Fluoride treatment stands out as one of the most effective preventive measures against tooth decay. Here are the key benefits:
Key Benefits of Fluoride Treatment:
- Strengthening Enamel: Fluoride reinforces the tooth’s enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars in the mouth.
- Prevention of Tooth Decay: Regular fluoride treatments can significantly reduce the chances of developing cavities, especially in children.
- Reversal of Early Decay: In the initial stages, fluoride can reverse tooth decay by promoting remineralization.
- Protection for All Ages: While often associated with children’s dental care, adults can also benefit from fluoride, especially if they have a higher risk of developing cavities.
- Cost-Effective: Preventing cavities can save money in the long run by reducing the need for fillings, crowns, or root canals.
