Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and make teeth more resistant to cavities. Professional fluoride treatments can provide additional protection during periods when your child may be at greater risk for tooth decay.
At Little Roots, we follow the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry guidelines and fluoride recommendations are individualized rather than one-size-fits-all. We consider your child’s age, cavity risk, fluoride exposure, and individual needs when determining whether a professional fluoride treatment may be beneficial.
We’re always happy to explain what we recommend, why we recommend it, and answer any questions you have about fluoride.
This page describes clinical care in general terms and is written for parents. It is not advice about your individual child.
