fluoridgel

Fluoridgel refers to a dental product containing fluoride, typically in a gel form, designed for topical application to teeth. It is commonly used in dental settings as part of professional treatments to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. Fluoride is a mineral that can be incorporated into the tooth's structure, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria in the mouth. This process, known as remineralization, helps to repair early stages of tooth decay and can slow or even reverse it.

The application of fluoridgel usually involves a dental professional carefully applying the gel to the patient's teeth, often using trays that fit over the teeth. Patients are typically advised not to eat, drink, or rinse for a specified period after the application to allow the fluoride to be absorbed effectively. Fluoridgel is available in various concentrations, and the choice of concentration often depends on the patient's age and risk of developing cavities. While highly effective in cavity prevention, it is important to use fluoride products as directed by dental professionals to avoid potential side effects.
