Fluoride trays
Fluoride makes tooth enamel more resistant to acid and thus reduces susceptibility to tooth decay. Since only the tooth surface can absorb fluoride after eruption, contact time determines effectiveness.
Individually made fluoride trays fit your teeth exactly. Filled with a little fluoride gel and worn in the evening, they keep the gel exactly where it needs to work - instead of it being lost to the lips, cheeks or tongue.
Das Wichtigste auf einen Blick
- Fluoride machen den Zahnschmelz widerstandsfähiger gegen Säure und senken so die Kariesanfälligkeit.
- Die Kontaktzeit des Fluorids mit der Zahnoberfläche entscheidet über die Wirksamkeit.
- Individuell gefertigte Fluoridierungsschienen halten ein abends aufgetragenes Fluorid-Gel gezielt an den Zähnen, statt es durch Lippen, Wangen oder Zunge zu verlieren.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of a fluoride tray?
Fluoride makes tooth enamel more resistant to acid and thereby lowers susceptibility to decay. An individually made tray holds the fluoride gel specifically against the teeth instead of losing it via the lips or tongue.
How often does a fluoride tray need to be used?
The tray is usually filled with a little fluoride gel in the evening and worn for a certain time. We discuss the exact usage schedule with you individually.
For whom is a fluoride tray especially useful?
It is especially suitable for patients with an increased susceptibility to tooth decay, since the contact time of the fluoride on the tooth determines its effectiveness.
