Fluoride application
Importance of regular fluoride application for children
Good oral health is vital to a child’s growth. Regular fluoride application helps protect teeth and lowers the risk of tooth decay.
Why Is Fluoride Important?
Tooth enamel can be weakened by acids from food, drinks, and bacteria, leading to decay. Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent this damage.
