Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride application is a simple and effective method that plays an important role in maintaining dental health. By strengthening the mineral structure of the teeth, it prevents the formation of cavities and enhances the durability of the enamel.

Fluoride supports the natural defense mechanisms of the teeth, ensuring long-term oral health.
