Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment is a safe and effective way to help prevent tooth decay, fight off harmful bacteria, and strengthen tooth enamel in both kids and adults.
What is Fluoride?
Fluoride is a natural mineral that is found in our bones and teeth. It is also present in our drinking water, toothpastes, and mouthwashes because of its effectiveness at combating tooth decay and strengthening enamel. Even if your child receives fluoride through sources, such as drinking water, that doesn’t mean that additional treatment is not necessary or beneficial.
All children are at an increased risk for cavities because they have less dexterity than adults when it comes to brushing and flossing. This makes it more effective to remove all of the harmful bacteria that causes tooth decay. No matter your child’s age, fluoride treatment can be extremely effective when applied each time you bring them in for a dental appointment.
