Lifehacker (3/16, Skwarecki) states that in addition to children, adults may benefit from fluoride treatment, noting the American Dental Association states fluoride treatments can help patients who have a “moderate-to-high risk” of developing tooth decay. According to the article, some risk factors for caries development include having active caries, a sugary diet, and taking medications that reduce saliva production. The article recommends speaking with a dentist to determine if a fluoride treatment would be beneficial.
Additional information on fluoride is available at ADA.org/Fluoride.
