Fluoride is considered a safe and necessary addition to dental care for toddlers because it helps to
strengthen and build small teeth, protecting them from common problems like tooth decay and cavities. Fluoride can also help remineralize tooth enamel that's been compromised by decay when used early on.
How to Get Fluoride for Your Child
Children can receive fluoride treatments during their professional teeth cleanings with their children's dentist, typically starting around the age of three to five years old. Our hygienist in Cheshire will apply fluoride to their teeth after their cleaning to help strengthen and protect them.
Fluoride may also be prevalent in your town's tap water, and children can receive small, safe amounts of it by drinking the tap water.
Your child may also receive fluoride through their toothpaste, which they apply daily during brushing. Ask your children's dentist in Cheshire, CT, which toothpaste they recommend for your child.
If there's not fluoride in your town's tap water, your children's dentist may recommend that your little one take fluoride tablets to protect their teeth.
