Do you want to maintain healthy teeth and avoid caries for a long time? One of the simplest and at the same time effective ways to prevent dental problems is dental fluoridation. In dentistry "Oxford Medical" this procedure is performed using modern drugs and technologies, which guarantees maximum results without discomfort.
Make an appointment for a consultation at a convenient time and find out if fluoridation is right for you. Our dentists at "Oxford Medical" will select the best option individually.
Dental fluoridation is a preventive dental procedure that involves applying fluoride-containing drugs to the surface of the teeth. Fluoride - a trace element that strengthens enamel, making it more resistant to the action of acids formed in the oral cavity during the breakdown of food.
The procedure is suitable for both children and adults. It can be carried out both separately and after professional hygienic teeth cleaning.
Two main methods of tooth fluoridation are used in dental practice: simple (superficial) and deep. They differ in the mechanism of action, composition of the drugs, and duration of the effect.
A fluoride-containing preparation is applied to the surface of the teeth - a gel, solution or varnish. This is the most common method, which ensures the formation of a protective film on the enamel and its saturation with fluoride ions. Simple fluoridation can be performed in the form of applying the preparation with a brush or using individual caps. The coating of teeth with fluoride varnish after professional cleaning belongs to the same category.
This is a two-step procedure, during which a solution with calcium is first applied to the enamel, and then a preparation with fluoride. The ions penetrate into the micropores of the enamel and form stable crystalline structures. Deep fluoridation of the enamel provides long-term protection and is indicated for severe demineralization.
Fluoridation — is not only prevention, but also additional protection for weakened enamel. Fluoridation of teeth is especially effective in adults who have thin, damaged enamel or after long-term orthodontic treatment.
Indications for the procedure are:
increased tooth sensitivity
first signs of enamel demineralization (white spots)
frequent recurrence of caries
wearing braces or orthodontic structures
professional teeth cleaning
high probability of developing caries
Fluoridation reduces the risk of tooth decay by strengthening enamel and making it more resistant to acids and bacteria.
The procedure helps eliminate hypersensitivity to temperature and chemical stimuli by compacting the enamel structure.
Fluoridation is performed painlessly, without anesthesia, takes a few minutes and does not require special training.
When performed regularly (1–2 times a year), fluoridation provides stable enamel protection for several months.
The method is effective and safe for both children and adults at increased risk of enamel demineralization.
Fluoridation is often used after professional hygiene or orthodontic treatment to enhance the effect.
At the same time, it is important to consider possible limitations of the procedure.
Teeth fluoridation: disadvantages
It is not a substitute for treatment. Fluoridation does not eliminate caries if it has already occurred, and does not replace professional dental dental treatment.
Requires regular repetition. To maintain the effect of fluoridation, it must be carried out regularly — usually 1-2 times a year.
The probability of excess fluoride. If the recommendations are not followed or combined with high levels of fluoride in the water, fluoride overload may occur, especially in children.
Not suitable for allergies. The procedure may be contraindicated for patients with hypersensitivity to the components of fluoride-containing preparations.
Before fluoridation, the dentist must assess the condition of the oral cavity to determine the feasibility and safety of the procedure.
The procedure for fluoridation of teeth takes up to 30 minutes and consists of several stages:
Assessment of the condition of the teeth.
Professional cleaning of the teeth and coating with varnish or gel.
Application of a fluoride-containing product to the teeth.
Waiting from 1 to 5 minutes - depending on the type of product.
Recommendations for further care.
After fluoridation, a protective film is formed that strengthens the enamel and gradually releases fluoride, preventing caries.
To ensure that the fluoridation results last as long as possible, follow these tips:
do not eat or drink for 30 minutes after the procedure;
avoid hard foods and drinks with high acidity on the first day;
do not use abrasive toothpaste for 1-2 days;
observe daily oral hygiene;
periodically repeat the treatment of teeth with fluoride preparations — usually every 6 months.
We use safe and effective fluoride products from leading manufacturers.
The doctor chooses the method and type of drug taking into account the patient's age, enamel condition, and associated factors.
The procedure takes place under sterile conditions and does not cause pain or discomfort.
Fluoridation is performed both independently and as part of a preventive program after cleaning or treatment.

This is the application of a special preparation containing fluoride to the enamel, which strengthens the tooth surface and reduces the risk of caries. The procedure is painless, lasts a few minutes and is suitable for both children and adults.
Deep fluoridation is a method where fluoride penetrates deep into the enamel by pre-applying a calcium-containing preparation. This procedure is more effective than classic fluoridation and provides long-term protection of the enamel from acids.
Fluoride prevents tooth decay, strengthens enamel, and reduces tooth sensitivity. It is prescribed for preventive purposes, after orthodontic treatment, or at the first signs of demineralization of tooth enamel.
The procedure includes cleaning the teeth, drying the enamel, applying a fluoride product (gel, varnish or mouth guard) and a short wait for the effect to take effect. Everything is done quickly and comfortably for the patient.
Coating your teeth with varnish can help prevent cavities, especially in people at increased risk of tooth enamel damage. It is a simple and effective procedure that helps keep your teeth strong for a long time.
