Fluoride Treatments | North Phoenix, AZ

Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, can prevent tooth decay, and one of its most smile-dimming effects: cavities. At your child’s twice-yearly dental cleaning, our pediatric dentists in north Phoenix will determine if a fluoride treatment is needed for your child’s teeth.

Tooth decay, cavities, and fluoride

Bacteria in the mouth produce acids—fueled by sugary and starchy foods—that are constantly attacking teeth’s enamel, stripping it of important minerals. This weakens and destroys enamel, and can eventually lead to cavities. Fluoride can help:

  • Prevent mineral loss and replace lost minerals
  • Reduce bacteria’s ability to produce acid
  • Strengthen developing teeth
  • Prevent tooth decay
  • Reverse early tooth decay

Young children, cavities, and fluoride treatments

Cavities in general have been on the decline in recent years, thanks to improved oral hygiene and water fluoridation. However, although a majority of public water systems are fluoridated, many people today don’t drink tap water. Most bottled water, RO systems, and well water on private property is not fluoridated. Because of this, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry reports that cavities in young children are on the rise: as many as one-third of children may have cavities by ages three to five. In addition to pain and discomfort, untreated baby teeth cavities can destroy children’s teeth and affect their overall health.

These startling statistics highlight the importance of fluoride treatments as part of your child’s dental care. In addition to regular check-ups and fluoride treatments, you can start your kids on the right dental track by brushing their teeth after meals, and limiting their sugar and snack intake. Other recommendations include not letting babies go to sleep with bottles and filling toddlers’ sippy cups with water only.
