Why Fluoride Matters for Children’s Teeth
Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens enamel and makes teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque, bacteria, and sugars.
Benefits for kids include:
Reducing cavity risk during the years teeth are most vulnerable
Re-mineralizing small areas of weakened enamel
Protecting both baby teeth and developing permanent teeth

How Fluoride Treatments Work
In-office fluoride treatments are quick, painless, and highly effective. At your child’s visit, we may apply fluoride as:
Gel or foam placed in a tray
Varnish painted directly onto the teeth
The process takes just a few minutes but provides long-lasting protection.
