When you begin learning about oral health guidelines within children’s dentistry, you may discover that there are some very simple and effective ways of protecting your kids’ smiles and your own smile. As a result, you will also discover that fluoride is essential for growing smiles (as well as for mom and dad). To help clarify some details on the matter, your Corona dentist provides reminders and tips to keep fluoride use just right.

You Should Choose Fluoride And Sealants For Kids

Kids’ teeth are developing, which means you want to protect them as best you can. Your Corona dentist recommends dental sealants to protect teeth from plaque adhesion, as well as fluoride treatments to encourage strong, healthy teeth that avoid cavity formation.

Everyone Needs Enough Fluoride

If you don’t have enough fluoride (this is true for both children and adults) teeth may not remain strong. They may also be much more susceptible to demineralization and tooth decay. The good news is that your Corona dentist will guide you toward the proper fluoride levels depending on your age and your oral health needs, either with home care suggestions or in-office treatments.

Tap Water Is Often Important

Since community drinking water is typically treated with fluoride, this is a common and important source of the mineral for entire families. If you stick to bottled drinking water as your family’s only source of water intake, this may lead to some fluoride deficiencies. Either incorporate community drinking water into your life or let us know about this choice sooner than later, so we can discuss options for protecting your family’s smiles.
