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.

“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.

I admire their dedication to providing excellent solutions to dental problems, and patience with special issues. I would recommend this team to everyone!”

“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.”

“Dr Thomas’ work has always been top notch for me and my family. The staff is genuine, friendly and easy to work with. Not changing dentist ever!”
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?!!”
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.”

Chelsey Swan
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“I love Thomas Dentistry! Tracie is my usual hygienist. It might be strange to say, but I enjoy my teeth cleanings here. They are so easy and, as far as dental work goes, as comfortable as they can be.”
Theresa Gehrig
Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“I have plenty of anxieties about getting dental work done and Dr Thomas and his team are understanding and reassuring. His office is so helpful and professional in getting the work done and I have a great deal of confidence in him and his team. Their equipment and materials are up to date. I’m grateful !”
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.”

“Best dentistry I've ever been to. The people here are thoughtful and very professional. The work I've had done has been very high quality.”
Vanessa Hoffman
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“This was my first dental visit and I must say they were definitely unorganized as their X-ray machine kept freezing the images delaying my appointment and they’re not put together. The manager Carmen told me I was going to have to pay a $70 balance. Which I completely agreed on no problem. I got a bill for $140 and was never told I had a $50 co-pay on top & they don’t use silver filling so I had to pay extra for a white filling. I was not told about any of these extra charges. The manager Carmen hung up on me over the phone without trying to fully explain everything and was very rude to me. I would not recommend this dentist because they are not truthful and they want you to pay double your bill so please be careful.”

Happy Client from Mercer Island Office
“They are awesome! Took care of my four kids today super convenient!”
Milo
Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“Great dentist! I came after Covid for my first checkup and cleaning, and ended up needing to have some childhood crowns replaced. During the process they were very thorough, even once getting a crown remade to have a perfect fit. One of those visits came in under the estimate. I appreciate the care they take in their practice. The staff are always nice and fun to talk to. Since my first series I’ve come here for over a year and have always had great experiences. Still need to floss more but the dentists and assistants are super nice about it! Also have great reminder system, and are very patient and thorough when working on insurance issues.”

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.
- Safe and Quick: The process is entirely safe when administered by professionals and takes only a few minutes during your regular dental check-up.

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.
