Flouride Treatment in Winchester
We offer fluoride treatment to prevent tooth decay. Fluoride helps by making teeth more resistant to the build-up of decay causing plaque and sugars. It can also speed re-mineralization as well as disrupt acid erosion in teeth.
According to the ADA, fluoride intake is often recommended for infants and children between the ages of 6 months and 16 years. During this time, primary and permanent teeth are developing.
In addition to receiving fluoride treatment at our dental office, it can be applied to the teeth through fluoridated toothpastes and mouth rinses. Mouth rinses containing fluoride in lower strengths are available over-the-counter. However, stronger mouth rinses can be prescribed.
We strive to provide you with the highest quality care, including the use of fluoride. For more information or to request an appointment, contact our Winchester, VA pediatric dentist.
