Fluoride Treatment
Professional Fluoride Treatments for Stronger, Healthier Teeth
At Bayou Children's Dental Center, we believe in providing comprehensive dental care, which includes the application of fluoride treatments. These treatments are a key component of preventive dental care, helping to strengthen tooth enamel and fight against cavities.
Understanding the Importance of Fluoride for Children’s Teeth
Fluoride is a mineral that plays a crucial role in dental health. It helps in rebuilding (remineralizing) weakened tooth enamel, slowing down the loss of minerals from tooth enamel, and reversing early signs of tooth decay. For children, whose teeth are still developing, fluoride is particularly beneficial in fortifying their teeth against cavities.
Our Safe and Effective Fluoride Application Process
Our fluoride application process is simple, quick, and completely painless:
- Teeth are cleaned to remove any debris.
- A fluoride varnish or gel is applied to the teeth.
The Benefits of Fluoride Treatments in Pediatric Dentistry
Incorporating fluoride treatments into your child’s dental care routine has several benefits:
- Helps in preventing the development of cavities.
- Strengthens the teeth making them more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth.
- Can reverse early signs of tooth decay.
- Particularly beneficial for children who are at higher risk of dental cavities.
