At Foothill Smiles, we use fluoride varnishes, foams, or gels depending on your child’s age and specific dental needs.

By hardening the tooth enamel, fluoride helps guard against decay and ensures your child’s teeth remain healthy and strong.

Before your appointment, ensure your child brushes and flosses their teeth thoroughly, and consult your dentist about fluoride treatment if there are any dental concerns. During a fluoride treatment, our team will apply a fluoride solution, foam, or varnish to your child’s teeth. For younger children, fluoride varnish is gently brushed onto the teeth, where it hardens upon contact with saliva. This forms a protective layer that is brushed off later during regular oral hygiene routines. Older children may receive a foam fluoride treatment using a tray that fits over their teeth. The tray is left in place for a few minutes, and a suction straw is used to remove any excess foam. To fully absorb the fluoride, your child should not eat or drink for at least 30 minutes after the treatment. After the appointment, make sure your child avoids eating or drinking for 30 minutes following treatment, encourage daily brushing and flossing to maintain strong and healthy teeth and follow any additional home care recommendations provided by your dentist.
At Foothill Smiles, we understand the importance of preventive care in building a foundation for lifelong oral health. We are committed to making every visit comfortable and informative for both you and your child. We use safe and effective fluoride treatments tailored to your child’s needs, ensuring the best possible protection against cavities. Trust us to guide your family toward brighter, healthier smiles with expert care and personalized attention.
