Fluoride treatments for children are highly recommended and should continue right up until the eruption of their last permanent tooth. It is a long time and it does take commitment, but it really is the best practice for the healthiest start! :D
For your child to become accustomed to and enjoy visiting the dentist, Drs. Dargan and Miller suggest bi-yearly office visits, at which time one of the team members will paint your child's teeth with a fluoride varnish. It's just a quick application and kids really seem to enjoy it, probably because it tickles a little a bit ... and the team members make it FUN. Upon check-out, we will provide you with a prescription for fluoride vitamin supplements for your child to take in between his/her visits to our office.
Here's to healthy teeth!
