Fluoride treatment for primary (baby) teeth

Service Description

Fluoride treatment for primary (baby) teeth is a preventive dental procedure aimed at strengthening enamel and protecting a child’s teeth from cavities. The enamel of baby teeth is thinner and less mineralized, making it more vulnerable to bacteria and acids. For this reason, fluoride treatment is an important part of maintaining oral health in children. During the procedure, a special fluoride-containing agent is applied to the surface of the teeth in the form of a gel, varnish, or foam. The fluoride penetrates the enamel structure, making it stronger and more resistant to cavities. The procedure is quick, painless, and well tolerated even by young children. Before fluoride application, the dentist examines the oral cavity and, if necessary, professionally cleans the teeth from plaque. This ensures that the fluoride is evenly distributed across the enamel surface for maximum effect. After application, the child is usually advised to avoid eating or drinking for a certain period. Regular fluoride treatment reduces the risk of cavities, decreases tooth sensitivity, and helps preserve baby teeth until they naturally fall out. The procedure also helps children develop a positive habit of preventive dental visits without fear or stress. Fluoride treatment for primary teeth is recommended for children at higher risk of cavities and as part of a comprehensive preventive care plan. The dentist will determine an individualized schedule based on the child’s age and dental condition.
