What to Expect During Your Visit

  • Assessment of Your Child’s Oral Health:
    • Dr. Fisher will evaluate your child’s dental health to determine if fluoride treatment is necessary. Fluoride is especially important for children who are still developing their permanent teeth.
  • Fluoride Application:
    • The fluoride will be applied as a gel or varnish to your child’s teeth. The process is fast, painless, and takes just a few minutes. Afterward, your child will be advised not to eat or drink for about 30 minutes to ensure the fluoride absorbs fully into the teeth.
  • Easy and Comfortable:
    • The procedure is completely non-invasive, so your child can relax during the treatment. It’s an effective way to help protect their teeth without discomfort.
