Topical Fluoride is a natural element which is found as an active ingredient in many dental products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, gels and varnishes. It is used routinely to prevent tooth decay.
Topical Fluoride prevents the loss of minerals from tooth enamel and encourages remineralization. It forms a more acid resistant surface which is less prone to acid attacks by the bacteria.
The use of Topical Fluoride to prevent and control decay has been proven to be safe and effective. Nevertheless, ingestion of excessive fluoride in young children can lead to fluorosis of the developing adult teeth. Fluorosis is usually mild, appearing as white streaks or specks on the tooth surface. In severe cases, the teeth may be pitted and discoloured brown. Check with your paediatric dentist for the right amount of toothpaste to use for your young children. Parents should always dispense toothpaste for their young children to prevent them from swallowing excessive amount.
Professionally applied topical fluoride is a preventive agent that contains fluoride in high concentration. It can come as a gel that is placed on a foam tray and held against the teeth for a few minutes or as a varnish that is painted on the enamel of the teeth. Varnish is useful for young patients and those patients who may not be able to tolerate the foam tray.

Yes. Please call answering service operator on 6533 0088 and ask for one of the "on-call" dentists from TP Dental Surgeons. Our dentist will get back to you as soon as possible and if necessary, arrange to see you immediately at our practice.
Except for emergency problems requiring immediate treatment, patients are seen by appointment. If you are unable to come at the appointed time, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can rearrange the appointment.
Some people are very frightened of dental treatment. For these patients, we will use relative analgesia (laughing gas) to relieve their anxiety. Ask any of our staff about this and they will gladly explain it to you.
Yes. We have all the specialists in all dental specialties in our clinic.
Our dentists and staff will gladly explain our costs to you before the commencement of any treatment.
You can pay by cash, cheque, NETS or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Diners). Normally, payments are expected at each visit. However, for extensive work, you will be required to pay a deposit on your first visit and to settle the balance when the work is completed. Advance payment is also accepted.
Many of our patients have insurance to help pay towards the cost of their dentistry and our fees are the same, regardless of whether a patient has insurance or not. However, it is our policy that patients are responsible for ensuring that their bills are paid in full. Therefore you will need to make your own financial arrangements before receiving treatment and will need to ensure that the bill is settled in full at the end of your treatment. Should there be a dispute between you and your insurance company, it must be handled directly you and them. However, we will gladly provide any relevant information to help settle the matter.
