Book nowFluoridation and sealants are preventive procedures that protect teeth from decay. During fluoridation a fluoride compound (varnish or gel) is applied to the enamel to strengthen it and slow the loss of minerals. Sealing closes the natural pits and fissures of the chewing teeth with a thin protective coating so food debris and bacteria cannot collect there. Both procedures are usually painless and are most often recommended for children and adults at higher risk of cavities.
- For children and teens after permanent teeth erupt, while the enamel is still maturing.
- When chewing teeth have deep fissures where decay tends to start quickly.
- For people prone to cavities or with a history of many treated teeth.
- For enamel sensitivity, when teeth react to cold or sweet foods.
- For people wearing braces or aligners who need extra enamel protection.

FAQ
Do fluoridation and sealing hurt?
No, both procedures are usually painless and usually done without anaesthetic, so they are comfortable for children too.
How long does the procedure take?
Sealing one tooth usually takes a few minutes and fluoridation of a whole row is quick; the exact time depends on the number of teeth.
How long does the result last?
A sealant can last several years, while fluoridation is usually repeated once or twice a year; it depends on the case.
Do these procedures prevent cavities completely?
They significantly lower the risk of cavities but are not a full guarantee — daily brushing and regular check-ups are still needed.
Is fluoridation useful for adults too?
Yes, it is useful for adults too, especially with sensitive enamel, a high risk of cavities or while wearing braces.
Can I eat after the procedure?
After sealing you can usually eat right away; after fluoride varnish the dentist may advise avoiding hard or hot food for a few hours.
