What Is Fluoride Treatment for Kids?

Fluoride varnish or fluoride treatment is a thin, protective coating applied to your child’s teeth. It contains fluoride, a natural mineral that has been proven to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities.

Why is fluoride varnish for kids so important?

Fluoride treatment offers several essential benefits for your oral health:

Cavity Prevention: Fluoride varnish provides an extra layer of defence against tooth decay, reducing the risk of cavities.
Strengthening Tooth Enamel: It helps strengthen and protect your child’s teeth, making them more resistant to acid attacks from sugars and plaque.
Safe and Painless: Application is quick and comfortable, ensuring a positive experience for your child.
London’s Water Supply: While London’s water supply contains fluoride, topical fluoride applications provide targeted protection where it’s needed most

Fluoride Treatment for Adults

Fluoride treatment isn’t just for children—adults can also benefit from it. At Smile Cliniq, we offer fluoride varnish applications designed to support adult dental health.

Cavity Prevention: Fluoride helps protect against tooth decay, particularly important as adults face different risk factors such as diet and medications.
Strengthening Enamel: It strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acids and wear over time.
Protection for Restorations: Fluoride supports the longevity of dental restorations like crowns and fillings.
Reduction of Sensitivity: It can help alleviate tooth sensitivity by reinforcing enamel.

Fluoride varnish is one of the best options for increasing the availability of topical fluoride, regardless of the levels of fluoride in the water supply. High quality evidence of the caries-preventive effectiveness of fluoride varnish in both permanent and primary dentitions is available and has been updated recently.

A no. of reviews conclude that applications two or more times a year produce a mean reduction in caries increment of 37% in the primary dentition and 43% in the permanent (Delivering Better Oral Health, June 2014). The evidence supports the view that varnish application can also arrest early existing lesions on the smooth surfaces of teeth and roots of permanent teeth. Much of the evidence of effectiveness is derived from studies which have used sodium fluoride 22,600ppm varnish for application.

FAQ Fluoride Varnish Treatment

Yes, fluoride varnish is safe for children. It has been extensively tested and is widely used to prevent cavities and strengthen tooth enamel. The amount of fluoride used in the varnish is minimal and applied directly to the teeth, reducing the risk of any adverse effects.

After fluoride treatment, avoid eating, drinking and brushing for a couple of hours. This allows the varnish to adhere properly and provide maximum protection.

Side effects from fluoride varnish are rare. Some people might experience temporary white spots on their teeth or mild stomach upset if too much fluoride is ingested. However, the controlled application by a dentist minimises these risks significantly.
