WHAT IS FLUORIDE?
Fluoride is a natural mineral that’s found in many sources like soil, water, and even certain foods. In fact, many communities add it to their water sources, and for good reason! Research has shown that fluoride encourages teeth to remineralize, which basically means that the mineral gathers in the damaged or weakened parts of teeth and strengthens the enamel there.
WHY IS FLUORIDE IMPORTANT?
Because of its beneficial qualities, fluoride is an excellent tool for fighting off D.K. here at KidZaam Dentistry! The presence of fluoride in drinking water and oral hygiene products (including toothpaste and mouthwash) can reduce cavities by over 50%. This helps little smiles and developing teeth grow up big and strong, even in babies.
DOES MY CHILD NEED FLUORIDE?
If your child is regularly drinking water from the tap and brushing with fluoridated toothpaste, it’s likely that they’re already receiving enough daily fluoride to reap its wonderful benefits. However, the rise in popularity of bottled water has led to more and more cases of fluoride deficiency. On the flipside, some children receive TOO much fluoride!
During their regular checkups at your KidZaam Klubhouse, our KidZaam Kidzologist will carefully inspect your little one’s teeth and determine whether they’re receiving the right level of fluoride. If not, there are several options for helping them receive the amount they need. This may include the application of professional gel, the regular use of a fluoride-rich mouthwash, oral supplements and more frequent cleanings at one of our fun and friendly KidZaam Klubhouses!
