What Are Fluoride Treatments?

Fluoride treatments involve the application of a concentrated fluoride solution to the teeth. This natural mineral helps to fortify tooth enamel, making it more resilient to decay and cavities. Fluoride is particularly effective for children as their teeth develop.

Benefits of Fluoride Treatments

Strengthens Tooth Enamel
Fluoride treatments reinforce tooth enamel, making it more resistant to the acids produced by bacteria in the mouth. This process significantly lowers the risk of cavities and tooth decay.

Prevents Tooth Decay
By creating a barrier against harmful bacteria and acids, regular fluoride treatments help prevent the onset of cavities. This preventive measure is crucial for maintaining your child’s oral health.

Quick and Painless
The fluoride application process is swift and painless. Our pediatric dentists ensure that the treatment is both comfortable and effective for your child.

Our Fluoride Treatment Process

At Helotes Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we take a thorough approach to fluoride treatments:

Comprehensive Dental Examination and X-Rays
Our dentists start with a detailed dental examination and x-rays to evaluate your child’s overall oral health. Visit our preventive dentistry page for more details.

Professional Teeth Cleaning
We perform a professional cleaning to remove any plaque and debris from the teeth, ensuring that the fluoride can be effectively absorbed. Learn more about our teeth cleaning services.

Fluoride Application
The fluoride is carefully applied to the teeth and allowed to sit for a few minutes to ensure proper absorption. This creates a strong, protective barrier against cavities.
