So, fluoride is really important to help you have strong, healthy teeth because it makes our teeth more resistant to cavities. So acid is what causes cavities, and fluoride helps our teeth be more resistant to acid. The cool thing about our fluoride is it’s not probably how you remember it where it’s, like, gross and foamy. We have a varnish that we paint on the teeth and it’s just a quick little paint and they’re super yummy flavors. We have caramel donut, we have bubble gum and we have mint and you can even eat and drink right away afterwards. So you don’t have to sit and wait.
Strengthen Your Child’s Teeth With Fluoride Treatment in Littleton
At Sprout and Bloom, we know how important it is to you for your child to have a healthy smile! By making sure your child brushes their teeth twice a day and flosses at least once a day, you are helping them keep bacteria, plaque, and tartar at bay. However, when your child visits us for their cleaning and exam, we go a step further to protect their teeth. Our fluoride treatment in Littleton will:
- Strengthen your child’s tooth enamel to protect against acid from foods and drinks
- Decrease the risk of tooth decay and cavities
- Be completely painless for your child
- Help reverse early signs of decay
Safeguard your child’s oral health with preventive care! Call us today at 720-615-6087 to schedule an appointment for your little one.
Preserve Your Child’s Grin With Fluoride Care
It might surprise you to learn that one out of every five children has untreated tooth decay. Luckily, this can be prevented. Fluoride can actually help prevent cavities from developing by remineralizing the tooth enamel. This helps fight the growth of bacteria buildup and cavities on their teeth. Here’s how this treatment works:
- After your child’s routine cleaning and exam, we will apply a fluoride varnish (made from hypoallergenic, food-grade materials) by painting it onto their teeth. It’s a painless, easy process that will take only a few minutes.
- The fluoride will harden almost immediately after application. That way your child won’t be able to swallow it if they lick their teeth.
- Because the fluoride dries in about 15 seconds, your child can eat, drink, etc. right away!
Preventive care is the best way to stay ahead of any dental problems. In addition to visiting us for your child’s fluoride treatment, make sure they are brushing their teeth with a fluoride toothpaste and rinsing with a fluoride-based mouthwash. We recommend looking for brands with the ADA seal of approval on them.

FAQs About Fluoride Treatments
Q: At what age should my child start receiving fluoride treatments?
Children can begin receiving professional fluoride treatments as early as age 2, or when their first teeth appear. Most pediatric dentists recommend treatments every 3-6 months depending on the child’s cavity risk.
Q: Are fluoride treatments safe for children?
Yes, professional fluoride treatments are completely safe when administered by a dental professional in appropriate doses. The amount used is carefully controlled and much lower than what would cause any harm.
Q: What should I expect during my child’s fluoride treatment?
The treatment involves applying fluoride gel, foam, or varnish to your child’s teeth using a brush or tray, and takes just a few minutes. Your child should avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes afterward to allow maximum absorption.
Q: How often does my child need fluoride treatments?
Most children benefit from fluoride treatments every 3-6 months during regular dental checkups. Children at higher risk for cavities may need more frequent treatments as recommended by their dentist.
Q: Can fluoride treatments replace good oral hygiene habits?
No, fluoride treatments are a supplement to, not a replacement for, daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing. They work best as part of a comprehensive oral care routine that includes a healthy diet and regular dental visits.
