Fluoride Application in kids
What is Fluoride? What is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in water, tea, meat, eggs, and fish. It plays a vital role in preventing tooth decay and accelerating the remineralization process, which helps rebuild and strengthen tooth enamel.
Fluoride treatments at Nova Dental Hospital are an essential part of maintaining your child’s oral health. Along with fluoride toothpaste, rinses, and fluoride-enriched water, professional fluoride application offers an additional layer of protection against cavities. While fluoride significantly reduces cavity formation, it may not completely shield the grooves of teeth.
However, when combined with dental sealants, fluoride treatments provide an effective defense against tooth decay, particularly on hard-to-clean grooved surfaces.
How is the Topical Fluoride Application Procedure Done?
During your child’s routine dental visit at Nova Dental Hospital, Dr. Happy Patel and our pediatric dental specialists apply a fluoride solution to each tooth using a gentle brush. This quick and painless procedure ensures maximum absorption of fluoride by the teeth.
After the application, we recommend that your child avoids rinsing, eating, or drinking for at least 30 minutes to allow the fluoride to work effectively.
How Often Should My Child Receive Fluoride Treatment?
We recommend a fluoride treatment every six months as part of your child’s dental care routine. For children who are more prone to cavities or dental decay, our team may suggest more frequent fluoride applications to ensure optimal protection.
