One of the many treatments we offer at Northwest Children's Dentistry are in-office fluoride treatments. Many parents ask us about this common procedure.
In-office fluoride treatments have been shown to decrease tooth decay rates. For younger children, we prefer to use a topical fluoride varnish that is “painted” onto the teeth. The benefit for using a fluoride varnish is that children do not have to wait 30 minutes to eat or drink. We typically recommend in-office fluoride treatments twice per year for all ages. For those children with high risk for tooth decay, we recommend these treatments more often.
As your pediatric dentist in Tucson, we want to help you understand all the treatments we provide. Feel free to call us and ask us questions anytime.
