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.

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.”
Sarah Gielgens
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“I have been a patient at Thomas dentistry for over 10 years and have always appreciated their open and friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable and helpful advice, use of new technology and methods, consistent and kind care. Dr. Thomas, Dr. Nguyen, and Dr. Jaswal have all demonstrated genuine care and interest in their patient’s lives, dental health and history, and other medical concerns. I admire their dedication to providing excellent solutions to dental problems, and patience with special issues. I would recommend this team to everyone!”

“Dr. Thomas is an amazing dentist. At both his Mercer Island and Kirkland offices the staff is very warm and welcoming. Dr. Thomas has been my husband’s and my dentist for over 20 years and has done exceptional dental work. He makes his patients feel at ease with his caring, positive and fun personality. My grandchildren also see Dr. Thomas and he has an amazing way of helping them to feel comfortable and thus, cooperative. Dr. Thomas has the highest medical and ethical standards. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Thomas for any dental procedure.”

Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“I love coming here & I’m always greeted with smiles. It truly makes me feel great that the staff remembers my name & even though I visit every six months for my cleanings, our conversations pick up right where we left off. Marna, Rosie & Dr. Thomas are THEE BEST! I’d leave ten stars if I could.”
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.”
Matt Wang
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“Dr. Jaswal is an absolute pleasure to work with!”
Henry Pang

Holly Yee
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“Such a wonderful dentist's office! The staff is always welcoming, efficient, and they do a great job with my oral care. The other day I had a tooth brush bristle stuck in between two of my teeth and needed to come in for a minute visit. They got me in that day and were able to remove the bristle. It was such a relief! Going to the dentist can somethings be uncomfortable, but at Thomas Dentistry I always feel taken care of.”

“I've looked for a dentist in the Seattle area for eight years. I'll never go anywhere else. The last year with Dr Thomas has been great. His staff is just as great. Very solid work.”
Peter Christian
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“I did not have a dentist in the Seattle area and choose Thomas Dentistry because they were close and nearby. Boy, did I strike gold! I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and I needed some work done to get clearance for a other medical procedure. They were so great in getting me set up and expediting my treatments. Everyone was very professional and friendly. I can highly recommend them for your dental work.”
Dennis Ferrer
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“Nice, smart and they do a great job”
Elaina Sh
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“Went to that office last year to get a crown on implant and Dr. Thomas did the ugliest crown possible. Shape and height looked completely different from natural tooth I had in that place before. He did not even try to fix it. This year my new dentist confirmed that the crown should have been done completely different but now Im stuck with this crown for a while because it will cost a ton to re-do it since that is a dental implant crown, not just a regular crown. I guess I missed the first red flag when they said they do root canals and extractions too. Of course, why even going to roots canals specialists and oral surgeons if You can get a “buffet of services” at Dr. Thomas! Also Molly at the front desk is the rudest receptionist I ve even seen, billing office could not get the numbers right and overcharged me for about $800 then refunded but can this office be more unprofessional and thirsty for money?!!”

- 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.

Our FAQ's
The frequency of fluoride treatments can vary depending on your individual dental health needs. Generally, we recommend undergoing fluoride treatments every 6 to 12 months. However, for those at higher risk of dental decay, more frequent treatments may be advised.
Certainly. While fluoride treatments are often associated with pediatric dental care, adults can also benefit significantly, especially those who are prone to cavities or have a history of dental decay. It’s a valuable preventive measure for people of all ages.
We recommend that you avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after the treatment. This allows the fluoride to fully integrate with the tooth enamel, maximizing its protective effects.
