Fluoride is a key ingredient in the fight against tooth decay and plays an indispensable role in the oral health of both children and adults. Discover the importance of fluoride and how to use it effectively in your daily oral care routine.

What is Fluoride?

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that plays a crucial role in preventing tooth decay. It strengthens tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to acid attacks caused by bacteria in the mouth. This protection is essential for maintaining strong and healthy teeth throughout life.

The Importance of Fluoride for Children

From the moment a child's first tooth comes through, fluoride becomes an essential ally in the fight against cavities. The use of toothpaste containing fluoride helps protect young, vulnerable teeth and thus helps prevent future tooth decay.

Proper Use of Fluoride

The recommended amount of fluoride toothpaste varies by age group. It is very important to use the right amount for maximum protection, while also ensuring safety. A pea-sized amount of toothpaste is recommended for children, while babies only need a thin coat.

For some patients, additional fluoride treatment may be necessary to achieve optimal oral health. Bee Dental House Zierikzee we assess the individual need for extra fluoride and offer tailor-made solutions to support your oral health.
