Details.
A quick, gentle, non-invasive preventive dental treatment designed to strengthen developing tooth enamel and help reduce cavity risk in children. Professional fluoride may be applied as varnish, gel, or foam, depending on the child's age, cavity risk, and clinical needs. Treatment is usually completed within a few minutes during a routine dental visit. Children can generally return to normal activities shortly afterward, although the dentist may provide temporary eating or drinking instructions depending on the fluoride type used.
