We have noticed that patients still have quite little information about what tefenfluoride is and why coating their teeth with tefenfluoride may be necessary.

Tefenfluoride is a solution that allows for quite active and predictable fluoridation – the mineralisation of the tooth with fluoride.

Coating teeth with tefenfluoride allows invisible micro-cracks in the tooth enamel to be closed and teeth to be protected from possible damage.👄🙌

☝Coating teeth with Tefenfluoride is recommended in the following cases:

Prevention and treatment of enamel caries – also in cases where caries has already started to develop but is still in the stain stage.
Prevention before starting orthodontic treatment – teeth are covered shortly before braces are placed.
Increased tooth sensitivity (most commonly in the cervical region) – tefenfluoride actively mineralises the enamel and prevents tooth sensitivity.
☝The procedure should be repeated annually to restore the tefenfluoride coating and maintain the results over time.

The procedure is most often recommended for children when their permanent teeth start to erupt🦷, but it will be very useful for absolutely every patient!

Tefenfluoride tooth coating is a very quick procedure which is completely comfortable for the patient. 👩🏻‍⚕️
