What is Fluoride Application?

Fluoride application is a simple yet highly effective preventive dental treatment designed to strengthen your teeth and protect them from decay.

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that plays a crucial role in maintaining strong, healthy teeth by helping to remineralise tooth enamel and making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque and bacteria.

How Does Fluoride Application Work?

During a fluoride application, our general dentistry team applies a concentrated fluoride gel or varnish directly to your teeth. The process is quick and painless.

The fluoride treatment works by penetrating the enamel and promoting the remineralisation process, repairing early stages of tooth decay and preventing new cavities from forming.

Who Can Benefit from Fluoride Application?

Fluoride treatments are beneficial for patients of all ages, particularly those at higher risk for cavities.

Children, in particular, can benefit from fluoride applications as their teeth are still developing, but adults who are prone to cavities, have dry mouth conditions or have a history of dental issues can also see significant benefits.
