Pediatric Fluoride Treatments

The team at Joseph F. Sciotto D.M.D. offers pediatric fluoride treatments to help ensure the health and wellbeing of your child’s smile. Fluoride is a mineral that helps keep teeth strong and healthy, and it occurs naturally in water, plants, and rocks. If you live in an area where the water isn’t fluoridated, a fluoride treatment from Joseph F. Sciotto D.M.D. can be very beneficial for your child’s oral health.

What is Fluoride?

Fluoride is a mineral that helps to diminish bacteria that can cause tooth decay in both children and adults. In certain parts of the world, it’s added to community water sources and dental products as a preventive measure against cavities.

Fluoride is important because it helps to remove bacteria to keep enamel strong. When enamel breaks down, it’s unable to repair itself – which is why taking proper care of teeth and gums is so important!

It’s no secret that kids sometimes eat unhealthy foods, especially those that may be high in sugar. That’s why fluoride treatments can be helpful. At Joseph F. Sciotto D.M.D., we offer fluoride treatments in different flavors to make it more fun and engaging for children.
