Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that plays a vital role in keeping teeth healthy, and professional fluoride treatments provide an extra layer of protection to keep cavities at bay.
By incorporating professional fluoride treatments into your child’s dental visits, we can provide them with the best defense against cavities and help ensure their smile remains healthy and strong.
How Does Fluoride Work?
Fluoride works in two key ways to protect your child's teeth. When it is applied topically, it helps to remineralize the tooth's enamel, making it stronger and more resistant to the acids produced by bacteria that can cause cavities. This strengthening effect is particularly important for children's developing permanent teeth. Fluoride also helps to reverse early signs of tooth decay, preventing small cavities from progressing into bigger problems.The Treatment Process
A fluoride treatment is a quick and easy procedure that can be completed at the end of your child's routine cleaning and checkup. We can apply fluoride in a number of ways, including a varnish, a gel, or a foam. The application takes just a few minutes, and your child can be on their way with a protected smile. We will also give you simple instructions on when they can eat and drink again after the treatment.By incorporating professional fluoride treatments into your child’s dental visits, we can provide them with the best defense against cavities and help ensure their smile remains healthy and strong.
