The peculiarities of children's teeth make them more susceptible to bacterial erosion, which can lead to decay. To prevent this, fluoride on teeth has become a key measure. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, when a child begins to erupt their first tooth, it is best to have their first oral physical examination before their first birthday, with regular follow-up. The need for fluoride depends on the guidance of the dental professional and the child's individual situation.
It is generally recommended that children receive fluoride at least twice a year**. However, the frequency of fluoride application should be based on the child's risk of caries and should be determined by a professional dentist after assessment of the actual situation. Although dental fluoride cannot completely prevent tooth decay, oral hygiene measures such as proper brushing habits and flossing can effectively reduce the incidence of tooth decay.
Fluoride** is usually a pleasant experience, often fruity, and does not cause pain. Your child can eat immediately after fluoride, but it is generally recommended to avoid foods, especially hard foods, for 1 hour. It is not advisable to brush or floss your teeth for 4-6 hours after receiving **, and it is generally recommended to brush your teeth again the next day. Also, be careful not to swallow mouthwash.
Fluoride application has been widely used worldwide and is considered a safe and reliable oral method. With proper use and under the guidance of a physician, it is generally safe for children to receive fluoride**.
Paying attention to your child's oral health and cultivating good oral hygiene habits from an early age can not only help prevent tooth decay, but also help maintain oral health and overall health. As a simple and effective preventive measure, fluoride on teeth should be paid attention to and reasonably guided by parents and medical personnel. Let's join hands to take care of children's smiles and pursue a healthy and happy childhood!
