Fluoride is nature’s cavity fighter. At Wallan Dental, professional Fluoride Treatments are a quick, safe, and highly effective way to strengthen tooth enamel, prevent decay, and even reverse the early stages of cavities. These treatments are a cornerstone of our preventive dentistry program for both children and adults.
We recommend professional fluoride application as a vital supplement to daily brushing, especially for individuals with a higher risk of decay, those undergoing orthodontic treatment, or those with exposed root surfaces.
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps teeth by a process called remineralisation, attracting calcium and phosphate ions back into weakened enamel.
During a professional treatment at our clinic, we apply a highly concentrated fluoride varnish, foam, or gel directly to the tooth surface. This application is much stronger and more potent than the fluoride found in toothpaste and tap water, offering superior protection against the acids produced by plaque and bacteria.
Fluoride treatments are simple, fast, and highly effective for:
Your teeth are thoroughly cleaned during your professional scale and polish to ensure the fluoride can absorb effectively.

Our hygienist or dentist applies the high-concentration fluoride (often a varnish or gel) directly to all tooth surfaces using a brush or a tray.

The fluoride is left on the teeth for a short period. Varnish, which is sticky, sets quickly, allowing you to leave immediately and providing long-lasting contact with the enamel.

We provide specific instructions, usually asking you to avoid eating, drinking, and brushing for a short time (typically 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the type used) to allow the maximum benefit.
