How Fluoride Treatments can Protect Teeth

When your child begins to get their first tooth, you should head to our office for an exam with our children’s dentist. When teeth begin to arrive in the mouth of your child, you may be asked if you will allow them to undergo a fluoride treatment to protect them from future cavities. This is not an invasive treatment and can be completed in just a few minutes when fluoride is painted onto the teeth and hardens in a few seconds.

Why Choose Fluoride?

When you arrive at our pediatric dentist office, you will usually be looking for ways of protecting the teeth of your child from future problems. A fluoride is a good option for your children to undertake because this naturally-occurring mineral has the ability to provide protection from damage to the enamel of the teeth.

If the enamel is not as hard as it should be, your teeth have a higher risk of decaying over time and being harmed in the long-term. A fluoride treatment for kids is a positive option offered by our children’s dentist because it is absorbed into the teeth to harden them before the excess is simply brushed away a few hours later.

Contact our pediatric dentist to discuss fluoride treatment for kids and schedule your appointment.
