Simple, painless protection that helps teeth resist cavities.
Fluoride treatment is a concentrated application of fluoride to the teeth that strengthens enamel and helps it resist acid attacks from plaque and sugary foods. Dental sealants are thin protective coatings placed on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where food and bacteria easily collect.
Both are quick, painless and do not need drilling or anaesthesia. They are used mainly to prevent cavities, especially in children, but adults at higher risk can benefit too.
At Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar, your dentist checks which teeth need protection and explains how long the treatment should last.
