Fluoride Rinse at the Dentist
We are strong believers in Fluoride but our view is most people do not benefit from Fluoride treatments at the dentist. We believe it is an unnecessary expense.
Canberra’s fluoridated water combined with Fluoride toothpastes provide a sufficient source of Fluoride. If you feel strongly about extra Fluoride treatments, we are happy for people to use products such as:
- Colgate Neutrafluor 220 Daily Rinse (generally costs less than $15.00 for approximately half a litre)
- Colgate Neutrafuor 5000 Toothpaste
- Tooth Mousse Plus

Root Canal Treatments
We strongly encourage everyone who can afford to have Root Canal Treatment see an Endodontist (Root Canal Specialist). Their long term results are superior as they have equipment, such as microscopes, which most general dentists do not have.
