Fluoride application

Fluoride is effective in preventing and reversing the early signs of dental caries (tooth decay). Researchers have shown that there are several ways through which fluoride achieves its decay preventive effects. Fluoride is incorporated into the tooth structure and makes it stronger resulting in teeth that are more resistant to decay. Fluoride also acts to repair or remineralize areas in which calcium from tooth has already come out making the tooth more prone to decay. Fluoride varnish application is part of your child’s comprehensive preventive program at our clinic. The frequency of fluoride varnish application depends on your child's susceptibility to dental decay.

The procedure of fluoride varnish application involves applying the fluoride liquid with a small painting brush on your child's teeth and will require less than a minute.
