Fluoride treatments & sealants

At AYRA Dental Clinic, we believe in protecting young smiles before problems begin. Fluoride treatments and dental sealants are simple, safe, and highly effective preventive tools that help shield your child’s teeth from cavities and long-term dental issues.

Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to decay. While fluoride is often present in toothpaste and drinking water, professionally applied fluoride treatments offer stronger protection—especially for children who may be more prone to cavities. During the treatment, a concentrated fluoride gel or varnish is gently applied to your child’s teeth. The process is quick, painless, and provides long-lasting defense against acid attacks from plaque and sugars.

Dental sealants are another powerful way to prevent tooth decay. They are thin, protective coatings that are carefully painted onto the chewing surfaces of the back teeth—where most cavities in children begin.

These grooves and pits can be hard to clean, even with regular brushing. Sealants act as a barrier, keeping food particles and bacteria out of these vulnerable areas. Once applied, the sealant hardens quickly and can last for several years, offering durable protection during your child’s cavity-prone years.

Together, fluoride treatments and sealants significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay and the need for future dental procedures. They are especially recommended for children aged 6 to 14, but even younger kids with deep grooves in baby teeth may benefit.

At AYRA Dental Clinic, Dr. Syed Ajmal Ahmed ensures these treatments are done with the utmost care, keeping your child relaxed and informed every step of the way.

Give your child the gift of strong, cavity-resistant teeth. With fluoride and sealants, prevention truly becomes protection.
