What is fluoride varnish?
Fluoride varnish is a dental treatment used to prevent tooth decay. It’s applied as a thin coating to the surface of the teeth, where it helps strengthen enamel and makes the teeth more resistant to cavities. At Sweet Tooth Pediatric & General Dentistry, we often use fluoride varnish as part of our preventive dental care to enhance your family’s oral health and protect their smile.
When to consider fluoride varnish
Got a little one with a sweet tooth? Don’t worry ⏤ fluoride varnish can save the day. Perfect for kids who love their sweets, it’s like a shield against decay and strengthens developing teeth. We’ll evaluate your child’s dental health and recommend the right treatment, ensuring their sweet tooth doesn’t compromise their smile’s health.
Is fluoride varnish safe?
We understand that as a parent, your child’s safety is your top priority. Rest assured, our treatment contains a concentrated yet harmless amount of fluoride, crucial for fortifying teeth and preventing cavities. Your family’s well-being is our utmost concern, and we’re here to address any questions or concerns you may have about this treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can benefit from fluoride varnish?
Fluoride treatments are beneficial for patients of all ages. Children, in particular, can benefit as their teeth are still developing, but adults can also benefit from its protective effects.
How often do you recommend getting fluoride?
The frequency can vary depending on your family’s oral health needs. Typically, we recommend every 3 to 6 months, but we’ll provide guidance based on every specific case.
What is the difference between dental sealants and fluoride?
Dental sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to prevent food and bacteria from getting trapped in deep grooves. Fluoride treatments, on the other hand, involve applying fluoride to strengthen enamel and prevent tooth decay. We’ll assess your family’s dental needs and recommend one or both treatments as necessary.
Can I be present during my child's visit?
Of course! We encourage parental involvement to provide support and reassurance during your child’s dental appointments. Your presence can help your child feel more comfortable and relaxed during the procedure.
