When you’re getting into the particulars of pediatric dental care, you will run into two very important treatments. While we offer them on a case-by-case basis, most youngsters benefit from the placement of dental sealants and from fluoride treatments. Since you might not feel completely convinced about the idea yet, though you are ready to hear the benefits, your children’s dentist would like to review the details. As always, of course, if you have any more questions, feel free to call!

Why Fluoride For Children?

Fluoride is something that everyone needs. Why? Well, fluoride is a natural mineral that offers exceptional advantages for teeth. Whether you’re young or old or in between, it will work wonders to promote hard, strong teeth. As a result, it helps to prevent the de-mineralizing that takes place when erosion and decay occur. Translation: It’s a great cavity preventer. Since kids’ teeth are still developing, your children’s dentist explains that treatments can ensure they’re receiving the right amount of fluoride (and that they avoid deficiency).

Why Sealants For Children?

Have you been brushing with your child? You will have noticed that your little one’s skills aren’t quite as expertly as yours, of course. For that reason, your children’s dentist suggests you place dental sealants. They will keep plaque from damaging back chewing surfaces on molars that are full of little spaces where food and bacteria can hide out and cause decay. This treatment will last around a decade, giving your child the time he or she needs to master excellent brushing and flossing skills.
