At Helotes Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we take a thorough approach to fluoride treatments:
Comprehensive Dental Examination and X-Rays
Our dentists start with a detailed dental examination and x-rays to evaluate your child’s overall oral health. Visit our preventive dentistry page for more details.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
We perform a professional cleaning to remove any plaque and debris from the teeth, ensuring that the fluoride can be effectively absorbed. Learn more about our teeth cleaning services.
Fluoride Application
The fluoride is carefully applied to the teeth and allowed to sit for a few minutes to ensure proper absorption. This creates a strong, protective barrier against cavities.
