What Is Pedodontic Fluoride Treatment?
Pedodontic Fluoride Treatment is a preventive dental procedure for children that involves applying a concentrated fluoride gel or varnish to the teeth. It helps strengthen enamel, rebuild early signs of decay, and protect against harmful bacteria. This quick and painless treatment is often recommended during routine checkups, especially for children at higher risk of cavities. When combined with good oral hygiene and a healthy diet, it supports strong, cavity-resistant teeth.
How It Works
During Pedodontic Fluoride Treatment, the dentist at our affiliated hospital applies a highly concentrated fluoride solution – usually in the form of a gel, varnish, or rinse – directly to the child’s teeth. The fluoride is applied using a small brush, swab, tray, or mouthwash, depending on the product used and the child’s needs.
The process takes only a few minutes. After application, the child is advised to avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes to allow the fluoride to fully absorb and strengthen the enamel. This helps protect the teeth by remineralizing weakened areas and slowing down early decay.

1. Consultation and oral examination will be conducted.
