Fluoride, Checkups and Healthy Eating

For a Lifetime of Good Dental Health
Fluoride
A mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel — and repair damaged enamel. • Helps enhance tooth strength with the body’s own minerals, such as calcium. • Protects teeth from acid attack. • Inhibits bacteria in plaque from producing acid.
Children can get fluoride through: – Water
Fluoride supplements (usually tablets) – Professional fluoride treatments – Fluoride gels, rinses, toothpastes
Dental Checkups
Ideally, children should visit a dentist

Within 6 months of the eruption of their first baby tooth.
Then twice a year or as recommended by the child’s dentist.
At a checkup, the dentist and/or dental hygienist will:

Examine the child’s mouth for early signs of decay or other problems.
Monitor tooth growth.
Clean the teeth.
If necessary, strengthen the teeth with a fluoride treatment.
Dentists sometimes recommend sealants — clear plastic coatings over the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where decay most often occurs. Sealants shield uneven surfaces from food and plaque.
Healthy Eating
Snacks – Sugars and starches can contribute to tooth decay.

Limit the number of snacks you eat.
Choose nutritious snacks such as raw vegetables, fruits and low-fat cheese.
Limit sugary sodas and sports drinks. Note: Snacking or sipping on sugary food or drink over extended periods of time throughout the day can be especially harmful.
