Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in drinking water. It is a mineral derivation of fluorine, a commonly occurring element in the soil and stone of the Earth’s crust. Fluoride is present in toothpaste, mouthwash and other home dental care items. It is an important part of successful pediatric dental care. Fluoride is certified as safe and recommended by the American Dental Association as well as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists.

Even with great dental health, many kinds of bacteria exist on your teeth. Many kinds of bacteria are actually good for your oral health, but some are bad. Bad bacteria form colonies in the crevices of your teeth and produce bacterial acid, which eats away your tooth enamel and causes cavities. Fluoride strengthens teeth against the bacterial acids that cause cavities. Fluoride even repairs the enamel on teeth in a process called “remineralizing”, ensuring that teeth are healthy and able to resist bad bacteria and cavities. Whether you have newly formed cavities or perfect dental health, fluoride can help fight cavities and protect smiles for your whole family.Fluoride Treatment for Pediatric Dental Health
