Fluoride Applications
A simple step that protects enamel
Professionally applied fluoride varnish strengthens enamel against acid attack — a quick, straightforward appointment with a preventive purpose.
About the treatment
Prevention that takes minutes
Enamel loses minerals every time it is exposed to acid from bacteria feeding on sugar, and takes them back up in between. Decay begins when that balance tips the wrong way for long enough. Fluoride helps the enamel take minerals back up and makes it more resistant to the next acid attack.
A professional application delivers a higher concentration than toothpaste, painted directly onto the teeth. It takes a few minutes, and how often it is worth repeating depends on how prone to decay that particular child is.
- Quick, straightforward and comfortable
- Higher concentration than everyday toothpaste
- Frequency matched to your child’s actual risk
- Sits alongside brushing and diet, not instead of them
