Fluoride Benefits Young TeethPreventing Tooth Decay the Easy Way | |

The Role of Fluoride A Tooth decays occurs due to plaque breaking down the sugars in the food which your kids eat. This then results in the creation of acids which dissolve the enamel, thus eventually causing tooth decay. Cavities can be painful; can potentially become infection and even lead to the loss of the tooth. They also significantly weaken the structure of the teeth and this is where fluoride comes in.
Fluoride stops acid produced by the plaque bacteria from dissolving (demineralizing) the enamel of your kids’ teeth. Fluoride actually allows the damaged teeth to repair themselves. Although fluoride will not fix cavities, it can prevent the formation of new cavities and also reverse low levels of tooth decay. | Kids' Fluoride Needs So you need to talk with your dentist about this as he is the only one qualified to advise as each child’s circumstances are different. However as a general guide, kids under six months old are not in need of supplemental fluoride. If the area in which you live is nonfluoridated and your child is over six months old, then your dentist may prescribe fluoride either in drop, tablet, or vitamin form. | | Children’s Dental GroupExperts in Pediatric Dental Care At the Children’s Dental Group, we do everything we possibly can to make every aspect of your child’s dental care experience as comfortable and as stress-free as it possibly can be.
