Pediatrics
Pediatric dentists specialize in treating infants, children, and adolescents, from infancy through late teens. They are trained to provide a range of dental care, including preventive and restorative dentistry, and they are uniquely qualified to provide treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and dental diseases that can affect children, especially those with special needs.
Pediatric dentistry helps promote oral health in children by providing preventive education, counseling, and small treatment plans to help children establish good oral habits for life.
Fluoride
Consultation
A dentist will examine your mouth and take x-rays to determine the overall health of your teeth and gums. They will discuss with you any areas of concern and the recommended treatment plan.
Cleaning
The dentist or dental hygienist will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from the teeth and gums.
Application of Fluoride
Fluoride can be applied in several forms, such as gels, foams, varnishes, or in a tray. The dentist or dental hygienist will apply the fluoride to the teeth, usually in the form of a gel or foam, which is then left on the teeth for several minutes.
Rinse
After the fluoride has been applied, the patient will be asked to rinse their mouth thoroughly to remove any excess fluoride.
Follow-up
The patient will need to have regular follow-up appointments, usually every six months, to maintain good oral health and to monitor the progress of the treatment.
It’s important to note that fluoride should be used in moderation, as excessive fluoride intake can lead to fluorosis, which is a condition that causes discoloration and mottling of the teeth. It is always best to consult with your dentist or dental hygienist to determine if fluoride treatment is appropriate for you, and how often it should be administered.
