Fluoride In Pune
Fluoride is a mineral that prevents dental caries (tooth decay). Dental caries in an individual’s teeth create acid and attack tooth enamel. Fluoride can even repair teeth in the early stages of tooth decay. Fluoride is available in two forms: systemic and topical.The topical variety is applied to the tooth enamel.
Fluoride treatments in Pune are typically professional treatments containing a high concentration of fluoride that a dentist or hygienist will apply to a person’s teeth to improve health and reduce the risk of cavities. There are also some high-concentration fluoride treatments that people can use at home but only under the specific direction of a dentist.
We at Dr. Tooth – The Best Dental Clinic in Pune offer Flouride Treatments in Pune.
Why apply Fluoride Varnish?
- What is Fluoride Varnish?: Fluoride varnish is a protective coating applied to the teeth to strengthen enamel and prevent tooth decay. It’s a quick and painless way to give your child’s smile an extra layer of defense against cavities.
- Tooth decay can occur when bacteria build up on teeth and gums and form a sticky layer of plaque. Plaque produces an acid that erodes teeth and gum tissue. If the plaque breaks down the enamel layer, bacteria can infect and harm the nerves and blood at the core of the tooth causing cavities in the tooth. Fluoride varnish application provides early defense against tooth decay.
- Safe and Child-Friendly: The application of fluoride varnish is a simple, non-invasive procedure that is completely safe for children. It’s a quick and painless process that can be done during a regular dental check-up.
- Promotes Stronger Teeth: Fluoride is like a superhero for teeth, helping them stay strong and healthy. Regular application of fluoride varnish promotes remineralization, strengthening the enamel and preventing the formation of cavities.
- Application by Professionals: At Dr Tooth Advanced Dental Care and Implant center, Pune, Dr Lil’Tooth ensures that fluoride varnish is applied professionally and with precision. We make sure your child’s experience is comfortable and positive.
