🌊 What is Fluoride?

Fluoride is a natural mineral found in water, soil, and some foods. It plays a crucial role in strengthening tooth enamel — the outer layer of your teeth — and preventing cavities by making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars.

Fluoride also helps remineralize early stages of tooth decay, essentially reversing the damage before it becomes a cavity.

🦷 How Does Fluoride Work?

Every day, your teeth go through a process of:

• Demineralization – Losing minerals due to acids from food and plaque.
• Remineralization – Regaining minerals from saliva and fluoride.

When this balance tips too far toward demineralization, cavities start to form. Fluoride helps by:

• Binding with the enamel to form a stronger surface.
• Repairing tiny weak spots in early decay.
• Inhibiting the activity of harmful bacteria in your mouth.

The result? Stronger, healthier teeth that are less prone to decay.

💡 Who Should Get Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride treatment is safe for all age groups, but certain people benefit more:

👶 Children (Ages 3–14)

• Still developing their permanent teeth.
• More prone to cavities due to sugary diets or improper brushing.

👩 Adults

• With a history of cavities or frequent fillings.
• Wearing braces or other appliances.
• Having dry mouth (xerostomia) due to medications.

👵 Seniors

• With receding gums that expose root surfaces.
• More vulnerable to decay and sensitivity.

🏥 What is Professional Fluoride Treatment?

At J K Dental Hospital in Chandkheda, fluoride treatment is a quick and painless procedure typically done after a cleaning.

We use:

• Fluoride gels
• Foams
• Varnishes
• Rinses

These are far more concentrated than store-bought toothpastes or mouthwashes, offering stronger protection in just a few minutes.

The Process:

1. We clean your teeth thoroughly.
2. Fluoride is applied using a brush, tray, or swab.
3. You’re asked not to eat or drink for 30 minutes so it can fully absorb.

That’s it — simple, effective, and protective.

🔄 How Often Should You Get It?

It depends on your risk level:

• Low risk (no history of cavities): Once a year
• Moderate risk: Every 6 months
• High risk (frequent cavities, dry mouth): Every 3–4 months

We personalize your fluoride schedule after a dental exam.

🧒 Real Story: A Smart Start with Fluoride

A 6-year-old girl from Motera came in with several early signs of enamel weakening. Her parents were worried about the start of cavities. We applied fluoride varnish, taught her brushing habits, and followed up every 6 months. She’s now cavity-free for 2 years — and all smiles!
