What you need to know
What happens at your appointment
Every visit at Dovers is clear and comfortable. Here is exactly what to expect.
Assessment & Risk Scoring
Your dentist identifies which teeth would benefit most from sealants (typically first and second molars) and determines fluoride treatment frequency based on your personal decay risk.
Fluoride Application
Professional fluoride varnish is applied to all tooth surfaces with a small brush. It sets quickly and should remain on teeth for several hours after application for maximum benefit.
Sealant Placement
Teeth are cleaned, dried, and a bonding agent applied to fissure surfaces. Liquid sealant is painted into grooves and cured with a light in seconds. Painless and instantly effective.
Home Care Guidance
Personalised advice on fluoride toothpaste concentration, diet habits, and recall frequency so protection continues between professional visits.
