Fluoride Treatment
about the treatment

About fluoride treatment in Marlow—

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps to rebuild weakened tooth enamel, reverse early signs of tooth decay, and make teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque, bacteria, and sugars in the mouth.

treatment process

The application of fluoride treatment involves the following steps—

step 01

The teeth are first cleaned to remove any plaque or debris, ensuring the fluoride can be applied directly to the tooth surface.

step 02

Fluoride can be applied in the form of a gel, foam, varnish, or rinse. It is typically painted onto the teeth or applied using a mouth tray that fits over the teeth.

step 03

The fluoride is left on the teeth for a few minutes to allow it to be absorbed by the enamel. The patient is usually instructed not to eat or drink for at least 30 minutes after treatment to ensure maximum benefit.

Fluoride treatments are quick and painless, making them an excellent preventative measure for patients of all ages, especially those at higher risk for tooth decay.
