Questions about fluoride
Is fluoride safe for children?
Yes. Varnish is applied in a tiny amount by a dentist and sets quickly, so very little is swallowed.
How often should it be done?
Usually every six months, or more often if Dr. Sneha advises it.
Does it hurt?
No. It is painted on in a few minutes.
Is fluoride toothpaste not enough?
Toothpaste helps every day. Professional fluoride is stronger and gives extra protection for teeth at higher risk.
Can adults have fluoride treatment?
Yes. It helps adults with sensitivity, exposed roots or frequent cavities.
