Why We Recommend Fluoride Treatments

Strengthen Tooth Enamel

For children with thin or weakened enamel, fluoride strengthens tooth enamel by providing essential naturally occurring minerals and creating a protective coating.

Prevent Tooth Decay

Fluoride treatments can help protect against and reverse early decay and signs of cavities, stopping the breakdown of enamel on the tooth’s surface.

Protect Against Bacteria

Fluoride treatments can help maintain healthy teeth by protecting against the damage caused by bacteria and acids, reducing the risks of decay and infections.

Care for Oral Conditions

For patients with dry mouth, gum recession, and other oral health conditions, fluoride treatment can provide extra protection and support against the higher risk of decay.

What to Expect From Your Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride application is a painless procedure that takes just a few minutes. Before treatment, your child’s teeth will be carefully examined and cleaned. The treatment is applied topically to the tooth’s surface, preventing plaque and decay. After treatment, your child shouldn’t eat or drink for at least 30 minutes to ensure optimal effectiveness.

Our dentist office takes care to ensure that all patients are comfortable and relaxed while visiting us. Our team works hard to help prevent cavities and care for oral conditions, supporting the oral health of each of our patients using specialized and state-of-the-art care. You can count on us for exceptional dental care for your children.

Fluoride Treatment Frequently Asked Questions

Are fluoride treatments safe for kids?

Professional fluoride treatments are absolutely safe for children. The American Dental Association has recommended fluoride treatment for children, particularly those at risk of developing cavities. In addition to topical fluoride, the ADA’s seal of approval was also applied to at-home fluoride products like toothpastes, as well as systemic fluoride, the fluoride found in the public water supply.

Can adults benefit from fluoride treatment?

Fluoride treatment can be beneficial to patients of all ages. However, here at our Little Heroes Laredo office, we provide care for children and teens, only. We would be happy to provide care for the whole family at one of our Heroes Dental locations.

How can I protect my kids’ teeth?

Protecting children’s teeth presents a major challenge for parents. The key is regular maintenance. This includes twice-daily brushing, daily flossing and mouthwash, and regular dental checkups at least every six months. The right fluoride treatment and sealant can also provide powerful protections.
