Request AppointmentThe Steps Involved
A typical fluoride treatment in Midnapore entails the following:
- First comes preparation. Your dental hygienist or dentist will clean your teeth thoroughly to remove any plaque and debris.
- Next up is the actual application. A fluoride gel, foam, or paintable varnish is administered onto your teeth using a brush or tray. Sometimes, you may be able to choose a flavour of fluoride.
- After a waiting period of one minute, you can rinse your mouth out with water to get rid of any excess fluoride.
- You will be asked to avoid eating, drinking, or rinsing your mouth for at least 30 minutes after the treatment to allow the fluoride to penetrate the tooth enamel fully.
It is advised that you come and have this done by a dental professional at a dental practice where the environment is controlled and sterile. However, you can do this at home using toothpaste or fluoride mouthwash.
Children and adults at a higher risk of experiencing dry mouth, developing gum disease, or that have a history of cavities should talk to their dentist about receiving fluoride. The treatment frequency depends on the individual, but generally, they are recommended every 3, 6, or 12 months.
