Healthy teeth are essential for a child's overall well-being. At Harmony, we understand the importance of building a strong foundation for oral health from the very first smile. Fluoride treatments are a safe and effective way to strengthen your child's developing teeth and prevent cavities.
Fluoride is a mineral naturally found in water and certain foods. Topical fluoride treatments applied by a dentist provide a concentrated dose of fluoride directly to the teeth. This helps strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. It also reverses early decay through a process called remineralization and helps reduce your child’s risk of cavities.

Dental professionals typically recommend starting fluoride treatments for children as soon as their first tooth erupts, around 6 months of age. Children who are at a high risk of tooth decay and those undergoing orthodontic treatments specially benefit from topical fluoride treatments. We recommend visiting one of our pediatricc dentists to get tailored advice for your child.
The frequency of fluoride treatments will depend on your child's individual risk of cavities and their specific needs. We will discuss this with you during your child's appointment.

No, fluoride treatments are not a substitute for good oral hygiene habits. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and routine dental cleanings are still essential for removing plaque and bacteria from your child's teeth.
