At SmilexPro Dentistry, we provide fluoride treatments to help prevent tooth decay. The ADA recommends fluoride intake for infants and children between 6 months and 16 years, as this is when primary and permanent teeth are developing. Our fluoride treatment involves applying a varnish to the teeth using a brush. This fluoride application makes the teeth more resistant to the build-up of decay-causing plaque and sugars, speeds up re-mineralization, and disrupts acid erosion. Besides in-office fluoride treatments, fluoride can also be applied through fluoridated toothpaste and mouth rinses. Over-the-counter mouth rinses contain lower fluoride concentrations, while stronger rinses can be prescribed if necessary. Dr. Tri Trinh will guide you on the best fluoride regimen for your child to ensure their teeth remain strong and healthy.
