Fluoride Treatments for Stronger, Healthier Teeth
At Stone Oak Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics, we are committed to providing top-quality preventive care to ensure your child's teeth stay healthy and strong. One of the most effective preventive measures we offer is fluoride treatments. These treatments play a crucial role in protecting your child's teeth from decay and strengthening tooth enamel.
What Are Fluoride Treatments?
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps build strong teeth and prevent cavities. It supports healthy tooth enamel and fights the bacteria that harm teeth and gums. Fluoride treatments involve applying a concentrated fluoride solution to your child's teeth, providing them with additional protection against decay.
The Benefits of Fluoride Treatments
Strengthens Tooth Enamel
Fluoride helps to remineralize tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth. Stronger enamel means better protection against cavities and long-lasting dental health. Learn more about how fluoride strengthens enamel

When Should Your Child Receive Fluoride Treatments?
The American Dental Association recommends that children receive fluoride treatments every six months as part of their routine dental check-ups. However, the frequency of treatments may vary depending on your child's individual needs and risk of tooth decay. Our team will assess your child's oral health and recommend the appropriate treatment schedule.
The Fluoride Treatment Process
Here's what you can expect during a fluoride treatment appointment:
- Cleaning the Teeth: Before applying fluoride, we thoroughly clean your child's teeth to remove any plaque and debris.
- Applying the Fluoride: The fluoride solution is applied to your child's teeth using a brush, tray, or mouth rinse. The application takes just a few minutes.
- Setting the Fluoride: Your child will be asked to avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes after the treatment to allow the fluoride to fully absorb into the enamel.
