Fluoride Treatment

Our pediatric dental team might suggest a fluoride treatment to safeguard your child’s teeth against cavities. This easy prophylactic care can assist in maintaining the strength and health of your child’s teeth as they grow.

Why Fluoride Matters?

Everyday eating, drinking, and normal activities expose your child’s teeth to bacteria, sugars, and acids which harm their tooth enamel, raising the risk of cavities. Fluoride plays a crucial role in remineralizing and fortifying tooth enamel, increasing resistance to decay and reinforcing the developing teeth of your child to ensure their health.

The Role of Fluoride in Your Child’s Daily Routine

Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, is present in various foods and water sources. Some fluoride is ingested by your child from their food and from using fluoride toothpaste. However, this might not suffice to meet all your child’s fluoride requirements.

During regular dental check-ups, our pediatric dentist will evaluate the fluoride levels in your child's system to assess if a professional fluoride treatment is needed. If your child could benefit from this treatment, we can administer professional fluoride within a few minutes during their visit. The fluoride is available as a gel, varnish, or foam — a totally comfortable and nonintrusive procedure.
