Service Description

Fluoride Varnish: A Simple Solution to Strengthen Your Child's Teeth 1. Fluoride Treatment for Children: Research shows that fluoride varnish, when applied twice a year, is highly effective in reducing tooth decay in children. Fluoride not only strengthens teeth but can also repair small imperfections in the enamel by attracting calcium. It’s a proven method to promote long-term dental health. 2. How the Treatment Works: During a fluoride application, a gel or foam is placed into mouth-shaped trays, often called “duck trays,” and these are inserted into your child’s mouth for a few minutes. The teeth “soak” in the fluoride, allowing it to bond with the enamel. After the procedure, it’s important that your child avoids eating or drinking for 30 minutes to ensure maximum absorption and effectiveness. 3. Benefits of Fluoride: Fluoride helps prevent decay and makes teeth stronger, playing an essential role in your child’s oral health routine. Regular fluoride treatments are a simple, pain-free way to protect against cavities and maintain strong, healthy teeth.
