Fluoride Treatment

Protecting Young Smiles

Tooth decay is one of the most common childhood health issues, affecting millions of children each year. At Smiles Elevated, we focus on preventive care, and fluoride treatments are an essential part of keeping young smiles healthy and strong.

How Fluoride Protects Teeth

Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps protect teeth from cavities by:

  • Strengthening enamel – Makes teeth more resistant to acids that cause decay.
  • Reversing early decay – Helps remineralize areas of weakened enamel.
  • Supporting growing teeth – Protects both baby and permanent teeth for long-term oral health.

Professional Fluoride Treatments

During your child’s regular checkup, we may recommend a fluoride application to provide extra protection against cavities. This treatment is:

  • Fast & Painless – Completed in minutes.
  • Applied as a Varnish – We use a new, water-based, resin-free formula that enables effective fluoride uptake with a minimum contact time of just 15 minutes. That means you can still grab lunch with your kids after their dental visit! With improved fluoride uptake by the enamel, we are able to use lower product dosage with more effective results than previously possible.

A Preventive Step for Lifelong Oral Health

Fluoride is most effective when combined with regular dental visits, good brushing and flossing habits, and a healthy diet. Our goal is to provide the best preventive care so your child may enjoy a strong, cavity-free smile. If you have questions about fluoride treatments for your child, contact us today to learn more!
