At JB Dental Associates, we provide pediatric fluoride treatment to help strengthen your child’s teeth and prevent cavities and decay. If you have any questions about pediatric fluoride treatment in Sterling, Virginia, we invite you to give us a call today at 571-366-3830! We are excited to get you scheduled for an appointment with our dentist, Dr. Joyce Bahng.
If your child is prone to cavities, our caring dentist may recommend a fluoride treatment. Fluoride, a natural mineral found in food and water, helps strengthen tooth enamel. Although your child receives some fluoride from their diet and toothpaste, professional fluoride treatments provide added protection to help prevent tooth decay.
As your child eats and drinks, bacteria, sugars, and acids in their mouth can weaken tooth enamel, making cavities more likely. Fluoride helps by remineralizing the enamel, making it more resistant to decay. It also strengthens developing teeth, supporting your child’s overall dental health.
During your child’s visit, our dentist will check their fluoride levels to see if a treatment is necessary. If so, the treatment only takes a few minutes and can be done during their regular check-up. Fluoride treatments come in gel, varnish, or foam form.
If you have any questions about fluoride treatments or would like to schedule an appointment for your child, feel free to contact us!
In addition to smile makeovers for Sterling residents and beyond, we also provide pediatric dentistry services in Sterling: at-home oral health care, early orthodontic treatment, pediatric dental appliances, and pediatric sports guards.
