FAQs

What is a professional fluoride application?

 It’s the application of concentrated fluoride in the form of gel, foam or varnish on teeth to protect against cavities.

 Children, teens and adults with a higher risk of cavities, weak enamel, braces or sensitivity.

 Yes, professional fluoride application is completely safe when applied in the right dosage by a pediatric dentist.

 We apply fluoride varnish or gel directly on the teeth using a small brush.

 No, it’s a painless and quick procedure.

 Only 2 to 5 minutes.

 Usually every 6 months, but children with high cavity risk may need it every 3 to 4 months.

Will my child have to avoid food or drinks after the treatment?

 Yes, they should avoid eating or drinking anything for 30 minutes after the procedure.

 No, but it prevents decay and keeps teeth strong, making them healthier.

 Yes, daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste is essential along with professional applications.

Not with professional application—it’s carefully controlled and safe.

 If your child has cavities, weak enamel, braces or poor oral hygiene, fluoride is recommended.

No, for children we prefer Fluoride application to be a separate procedure. It helps to gauge the behaviour of the child and plan further treatment.
