  Fluoride Treatments

  Every day, your body is constantly taking in and losing fluoride. The foods you eat and the water you drink all contain fluoride. As your teeth demineralize, you lose fluoride because of plaque bacteria and sugars in your mouth that attack the enamel of your teeth.

  Dental Cleanings

  Even if you know your child is in the healthy habit of brushing twice a day, two minutes at a time, and flossing daily, it’s important that you still bring them in for a check-up every six months.

  School Dental Exams

  During your child’s back-to-school dental visit, the dentist is likely to take X-rays to see how your child’s teeth are developing. They’ll also use this as an opportunity to look at the roots of your child’s tooth and make sure they are healthy. X-rays will only be taken as necessary and your child may not require them.

  Dental Sealants
