Being from out of town and working they understood and took great care of me explaining everything along the way. I really enjoyed the service/experience. I hope it's ok that I recommend your business for anyone who is from out of town and working in the area. Thanks again.

Dr Mike and his assistant Carrie were absolutely fantastic and such a blast to talk to them. The receptionists were extremely sweet as well and called me the next day to ask how I was feeling. Overall a great experience at this clinic and I will definitely be going back to receive any future treatment. 10/10.

Dr. Hoben was aware and he was very supportive. I’ve had a few visits this month and it’s been very positive. I highly recommend Dr. Hoben.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I moved to Petrolia September 2022. Petrolia dentistry was fantastic! I saw Dr. Rebecca Phillips. She conducted a very thorough examination of my teeth, jaw, mouth, gums, etc. We discussed a few options for some of my dental needs. She was very knowledgeable and offered reasonable options for me. She answered all my questions and concerns. I was very pleased with everything and have follow up appointments coming up. So far, excellent impression.
I’ve had several cleanings since. All the hygienists are professional and knowledgeable.  They always try to accommodate appointment times.
This year Dr. Hoban performed a dental implant on my lower left jaw. It’s always a process with several appointments and follow ups needed. Everything was thoroughly explained to me from A-Z. The process proceeded as planned. Everything went smoothly and am happy with the results of the implant. I have one more to do next year.
The only negative thing I can think of is that they are not open very early or any late hours during the week, or Saturdays. It’s basically normal business hours, so I had to take time off from work for appointments.
I highly recommend Petrolia dentistry for your dental needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best Dental Experience I've ever had in 47 years. I used to avoid getting my teeth cleaned because I found it painful and unpleasant. Amy changed that. She was gentle, kind, funny and thorough in her explanations and the cleaning was swift and painless. Dr. Hoban is wonderful and supportive in every way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Dr. Hoben is a skilled and compassionate dentist who explained my treatment options thoroughly. The staff is friendly and attentive, making me feel valued as a patient. The facility is modern and well-maintained. I highly recommend Petrolia Dentistry for excellent dental care. Thank you, Dr. Hoben and team!

What Is Fluoride and Why Is It Important?

Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Children benefit the most from fluoride because their enamel is still developing, and early protection can prevent cavities before they start.

Benefits of Fluoride Treatments:

At Petrolia Dentistry, our fluoride treatments are tailored to your child’s age, dental history, and cavity risk level.

How Fluoride Treatments Work

We make fluoride application a fun, fast, and positive part of your child’s dental visit.

Gentle Cleaning

We begin with a gentle cleaning to remove plaque and make sure fluoride can fully coat each tooth.

Application

Fluoride is applied as a pleasant-tasting gel, foam, or varnish — depending on your child’s needs. The entire process takes just a few minutes.

Absorption & Protection

Fluoride quickly bonds to the enamel, hardening the outer surface of the teeth to protect against decay.

Aftercare Tips

We recommend avoiding food or drink for about 30 minutes afterward so fluoride can fully strengthen the enamel. Your child leaves with a refreshed, clean, and protected smile — and a sticker for doing a great job!

When Should Kids Get Fluoride Treatments?

We typically recommend fluoride applications every 6 months during regular checkups and cleanings.However, some children may need more frequent treatments if they:

Our team customizes a preventive plan for every child to ensure lasting cavity protection and enamel strength.

Our Fluoride Facts:

We use controlled, professional-grade fluoride in precise doses suitable for children.
Treatments are topical — they don’t affect the body systemically.
Only a thin layer is applied to strengthen tooth enamel.
We avoid overexposure by monitoring frequency and dosage.

Our team takes the time to explain every step so parents feel completely comfortable.
