Sealants and Fluoride

The dentist will thoroughly clean the teeth to get rid of the food debris and tartar deposits. Next, we will apply a topical fluoride-rich gel on the teeth and spread it evenly. In some instances, foam or varnish may also be used as an alternative to the gel. It will be allowed to stay on the surface of the teeth for a few minutes, after which it will be rinsed off. As a preventive measure, fluoride treatment is widely recommended for children and teenagers as they tend to consume a lot of sugary foods, which can lead to cavities.
