Strengthening Your Child’s Teeth with Fluoride Treatments
What Is Fluoride Treatment?
Olney Pediatric Dentist
Fluoride treatment is an essential preventive dental procedure designed to strengthen your child’s teeth and protect them from decay. Fluoride, a natural mineral known for its cavity-fighting properties, is applied in a varnish form to the surface of the teeth. This process helps make the tooth enamel more resistant to cavities by enhancing its ability to withstand decay-causing plaque and sugars. The fluoride treatment also aids in the re-mineralization process, which can repair early signs of decay before they become more serious.
Additionally, fluoride disrupts acid erosion, which is caused by the interaction between dietary acids and plaque. This treatment is particularly beneficial for children, as their teeth, both primary and permanent, are still developing and are more susceptible to decay. Regular fluoride treatments can significantly reduce the risk of cavities and help maintain a healthier smile as your child grows.
Benefits of Fluoride Treatment
Prevents Tooth Decay
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, enhancing its resistance to decay and lowering the risk of cavities, which is crucial for maintaining your child’s oral health.
Enhances Re-mineralization
Fluoride promotes the repair of early stages of tooth decay by aiding in the re-mineralization of weakened enamel, helping to prevent further damage.
Combats Acid Erosion
Fluoride treatment helps counteract the effects of acid erosion caused by plaque and dietary acids, contributing to healthier and stronger teeth.
