Fluoride treatments in Fort Saskatchewan, AB, help reduce tooth decay and cavity formation to a large extent.
Your child may need a fluoride treatment if you notice:
Please call Dr. Navjot Sodhi for reliable fluoride treatment near you. Our friendly dental team is always at your service to address all your dental needs.
Brushing, flossing and rinsing cannot entirely prevent the onset of cavities. Fluoride gel or varnish provides an extra layer of protection against cavities. Our skilled dentist in Fort Saskatchewan, AB, uses a soft brush to apply the pale-yellow fluoride varnish onto the teeth’s surface. We take special care to keep your child’s gums and soft tissue protected during treatment.
The foam or varnish sets quickly within a few minutes, and most children enjoy the pleasant, fruity flavour. Fluoride application and fissure sealants are preventive care treatments that work in different ways to protect your child’s teeth. Please call us for a fluoride treatment consultation to learn more.
If your child is taking a fluoride supplement, this may need to be discontinued two days before administering fluoride treatment near you. We also advise parents to allow the varnish to remain overnight for the best outcome; the child should brush the morning after the procedure. The yellowish colour will disappear after brushing.
If your child has received fluoride treatment elsewhere, please let us know so we can space out your appointments accordingly. Please contact Dr. Navjot Sodhi for cavity-prevention and other children’s treatments, including fluoride treatment near you.
