What are Fluoride Treatments and Why are They Important for Children?

Fluoride is a naturally-occurring mineral that has been proven to strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. Fluoride treatments involve the application of a concentrated fluoride gel, foam, or varnish directly to your child’s teeth. This helps:

1. Prevent Cavities: Fluoride treatments can significantly reduce the risk of cavities by strengthening the tooth enamel and protecting it from acidic attacks caused by plaque and bacteria.

2. Reverse Early Signs of Tooth Decay: Fluoride can help remineralize the enamel, reversing the early signs of tooth decay and preventing the need for more extensive dental treatments in the future.

3. Protect Developing Teeth: As your child’s permanent teeth begin to emerge, fluoride treatments can help ensure that they develop strong, healthy enamel.
