What Is Fluoride Application?
Fluoride application is a preventive dental treatment that strengthens the enamel and helps make the tooth surface more resistant to acid attacks. It involves applying fluoride-rich gel, foam, or varnish directly to the teeth.
How Does Fluoride Protect Teeth?
Fluoride enhances the mineral content of enamel, making it more resilient to acids produced by bacteria. It also inhibits the bacteria's ability to produce harmful acids, reducing cavity risk.
Who Can Benefit from It?
Fluoride is recommended for:
-
Children aged 6 and above
-
Children with a history of cavities
-
Patients with braces or orthodontic appliances
-
Adults with tooth sensitivity
-
Patients with gum recession
How Is Fluoride Applied?
The teeth are first cleaned and dried. Then, fluoride is applied with a brush or applicator. The procedure is painless and takes 1–2 minutes. Eating or drinking should be avoided for 30 minutes afterward.
How Often Should It Be Done?
High-risk patients may benefit from fluoride application every 3–6 months. For others, once a year is usually sufficient. Your dentist will assess your risk and recommend a schedule.
Is Fluoride Application Safe?
Yes. At DentMax, we use fluoride products that are approved and applied in safe, controlled amounts. When administered properly, fluoride is safe for both children and adults.
Does Fluoride Whiten Teeth?No, fluoride does not whiten teeth. However, by protecting the enamel, it helps preserve the natural color and appearance of your teeth.
