What is Fluoride Application? What are the Benefits?

At DentMax Balikesir, fluoride application involves placing a fluoride-rich gel, varnish, or foam on the teeth to strengthen enamel. This helps protect teeth against decay and prolongs their natural lifespan. It is particularly effective for children as permanent teeth erupt. Fluoride treatments are often combined with Fissure Sealants, Pediatric Dentistry, and Children’s Dental Cleaning as part of a comprehensive preventive program.

How Does the Process Work?

First, the teeth are cleaned and dried. A fluoride gel, varnish, or foam is applied with a small brush or tray and left for a few minutes. The process is painless and quick, usually finished within 5 minutes. Afterward, patients are advised to avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes. Treatments are typically repeated every 3–6 months depending on cavity risk.

Prices and Costs – Balikesir Dental Clinic

The prices and costs of fluoride application depend on the type of fluoride material used and the frequency of treatment. A single session is affordable, and long-term benefits include reducing the need for expensive restorative procedures. Final pricing is confirmed after consultation.
