Фторування зубів
Treatment
Strengthen your зубна емаль and dramatically reduce cavity risk with professional-grade фторид application for patients of all ages.
About the treatment
Fluoride treatment is the professional application of a highly concentrated фторид solution to the tooth surfaces, delivering far more cavity-fighting power than any toothpaste or rinse you can use at home. While безрецептурний products contain around 1,000 to 1,500 parts per million (ppm) of фторид, professional varnishes used у BestDent contain up to 22,600 ppm, making them significantly more effective at strengthening емаль. Fluoride works through three distinct mechanisms. First, it integrates into the емаль crystal structure, converting hydroxyapatite to fluorapatite, which is more resistant to acid attack. Second, it promotes remineralisation by attracting calcium and phosphate ions back into areas of early demineralisation, essentially reversing the very earliest stages of cavity formation before a hole develops. Third, it interferes with the metabolism of cavity-causing bacteria, reducing their ability to produce the acids that dissolve емаль. Research consistently shows that professional фторид application reduces cavity rates by 30 to 50 percent in both children and adults. For children, фторид is particularly important during the years when постійні зуби are erupting and the емаль is still maturing. For adults, фторид treatment addresses the increasing prevalence of root surface cavities that occur as gums recede with age, exposing the softer cementum and dentin surfaces that lack емаль protection. У BestDent, фторид treatment is a standard part of our preventive care programme. The procedure takes just minutes, involves no discomfort whatsoever, and is one of the most cost-effective investments you can make in your довгостроковий dental health. We use sodium фторид varnish, which adheres to the tooth surface and releases фторид gradually over several hours for maximum uptake.

Strengthen your зубна емаль and dramatically reduce cavity risk with professional-grade фторид application for patients of all ages.
Keep your teeth healthy
Before фторид application, ваші зуби are professionally cleaned to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains. This step is essential because фторид must contact clean емаль directly to be absorbed effectively. Any barriers between the фторид and the tooth surface reduce the treatment's benefit.

Процес Лікування
Professional Dental Cleaning
Before фторид application, ваші зуби are professionally cleaned to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains. This step is essential because фторид must contact clean емаль directly to be absorbed effectively. Any barriers between the фторид and the tooth surface reduce the treatment's benefit.
Tooth Surface Preparation and Drying
The teeth are thoroughly dried using cotton rolls and gentle air, because moisture on the емаль surface interferes with фторид uptake. Each quadrant of the mouth is isolated to ensure consistent dryness throughout the application process.
Fluoride Varnish Application
A thin layer of sodium фторид varnish is painted onto all tooth surfaces using a small brush. The varnish has a slightly sticky consistency that helps it adhere to the емаль and continue releasing фторид ions over the next four to six hours. The process covers the entire mouth in just two to three minutes.
Setting Period
The varnish sets on contact with saliva within about 30 seconds. You may notice a slightly grainy texture on ваші зуби, which is completely normal. The yellowish tint of the varnish disappears after brushing later that evening.
Post-Application Instructions
You are advised to avoid hot beverages, crunchy or hard foods, and alcohol-based mouthwashes for at least four to six hours. Soft foods and cool or room-temperature drinks are fine immediately. Do not brush ваші зуби until the evening to allow maximum фторид absorption.
Scheduling the Next Application
For most patients, фторид treatment is recommended every six months at regular контрольний огляд appointments. High-risk patients, including those with active decay, dry mouth, or orthodontic appliances, may benefit from applications every three months. Your dentist will recommend the ideal frequency based on your individual risk profile.
Часті Питання
Is фторид treatment safe for children?
Yes, professional фторид treatment is safe and recommended for children by every major dental and paediatric health organisation worldwide. The amount used is carefully controlled and far too small to cause any adverse effects. It is one of the most effective ways to protect developing teeth from cavities.
How often should фторид treatment be done?
For most patients, every six months during routine dental контрольний оглядs is sufficient. Patients at higher risk for cavities, such as those with dry mouth, active decay, or braces, may benefit from applications every three to four months. Your dentist will tailor the frequency to your specific needs.
Does фторид treatment hurt?
Not at all. Fluoride application is completely painless and requires no needles, drilling, or anaesthesia. The varnish is simply brushed onto ваші зуби and sets within seconds. Most patients, including young children, tolerate it without any difficulty.
Can фторид treatment reverse a cavity?
Fluoride can reverse the very earliest stage of cavity formation, known as demineralisation, where the емаль has weakened but no actual hole has formed. Once a cavity has broken through the емаль surface, it requires a filling. This is why regular фторид application and early detection are so valuable.
Is too much фторид harmful?
Excessive фторид intake during childhood tooth development can cause fluorosis, which appears as white spots or streaks on the teeth. However, professional фторид treatments use controlled doses that are well within safe limits. The benefits of professional application far outweigh any minimal risk when applied by a trained dental professional.
What is the difference between фторид toothpaste and professional treatment?
Fluoride toothpaste contains about 1,000 to 1,500 ppm of фторид and is designed for daily maintenance. Professional фторид varnish contains up to 22,600 ppm and provides a concentrated boost that strengthens емаль far more effectively. Think of toothpaste as daily vitamins and professional treatment as a periodic booster.
Can adults benefit from фторид treatment?
Absolutely. Adults face cavity risks throughout life, especially as gums recede and expose root surfaces that lack the protective емаль coating. Adults with dry mouth, multiple restorations, or a history of cavities benefit significantly from regular professional фторид application.
Can I eat and drink after фторид treatment?
You can eat soft foods and drink cool or room-temperature beverages immediately. Avoid hot drinks, hard or crunchy foods, and brushing ваші зуби for four to six hours to allow maximum фторид absorption into the емаль.
Does фторид treatment stain teeth?
No. The фторид varnish may leave a temporary yellowish tint that disappears completely when you brush ваші зуби that evening. It does not cause any permanent discolouration. Your teeth will look and feel normal by the next morning.
Is фторид treatment necessary if I already use фторид toothpaste?
Yes, for many patients it provides a significant additional benefit. Toothpaste provides a low-level daily dose, while professional treatment delivers a concentrated application that penetrates deeper into the емаль. Studies show that combining both approaches offers substantially better cavity protection than either one alone.
