Fluoride Treatment
Nurturing Little Smiles for a Lifetime
Procedure Summary
What is Fluoride Treatment in Pediatric Dentistry:
Fluoride treatment in pediatric dentistry is a preventive dental procedure designed to strengthen and protect children’s developing teeth. It involves the application of fluoride—a natural mineral—to the tooth surfaces, enhancing their resistance to decay and promoting overall oral health.
Fluoride treatment is performed for various reasons, including:
- Cavity Prevention: Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks that lead to cavities.
- Tooth Development Support: Essential for the proper mineralization of developing teeth in young children.
- Protection Against Acidic Foods: Counteracts the effects of acidic foods and drinks that can weaken tooth enamel.
- Ongoing Oral Health: Establishes a foundation for strong and healthy permanent teeth.
Flouride procedure
Before we start with the procedure, we ensure to create a comfortable and friendly environment for the child. The dentist applies a fluoride gel or varnish to the surfaces of the teeth using a brush or tray. The dentist also ensures that all tooth surfaces. After the application, the dentist waits for a short period allowing the fluoride to be absorbed and strengthen the tooth enamel.
Instructions for the child and parents are provided post-procedure on maintaining good oral hygiene practices at home.
Recovery and Downtime:
- Immediate Resumption of Activities: Children can resume normal activities right after the fluoride treatment.
- Continued Oral Health: With regular follow-up visits and consistent oral hygiene practices at home.
