Frequently Asked Questions
How much does professional fluoride treatment cost in Bharuch?
A full-mouth fluoride application at Little Angels costs ₹800–₹1,500 for children. Recommended every 6 months alongside a routine dental checkup.
What is fluoride treatment and how does it work?
A concentrated fluoride varnish or gel is painted onto the teeth for 1–4 minutes. It gets absorbed into the enamel, making the tooth surface stronger and more resistant to cavities.
Is fluoride treatment safe for children?
Yes — professional in-clinic fluoride application is completely safe. Only a tiny amount is used and it stays on the tooth surface, not swallowed in any meaningful quantity.
How often should kids get fluoride treatment?
Every 6 months for children at moderate cavity risk. Every 3 months for high-risk children (multiple cavities, orthodontic braces, special needs).
Does my child still need fluoride if we use fluoride toothpaste?
Yes — the concentration used in professional treatment is far higher (22,600 ppm varnish) than toothpaste (500–1000 ppm). They work together, not against each other.
Can adults also get fluoride treatment?
Yes — adults with sensitivity, exposed roots, orthodontic braces, or a high cavity risk benefit from fluoride varnish every 6 months.
Fluoride or dental sealants — which does my child need?
Both, ideally. Fluoride strengthens all teeth; sealants physically protect deep grooves in molars. Together they prevent 90%+ of childhood cavities.
Is fluoride painful?
No — it's the easiest dental visit your child will ever have. A small brush paints the varnish on; they can go home immediately (avoid eating for 30 minutes).
