Pediatric Dentistry

Waukesha, Wisconsin

Starting a child early with regular dental exams and care can mean a lifetime of better oral health. From the time of a child’s first tooth, the pediatric dentist can help start patterns of eating and hygiene that can protect against early tooth decay, as well as tooth alignment and gum problems in adulthood.

Fluoride Treatments Near Me

Research indicates fluoride can help prevent cavities in children and adults in at least two ways: 

  • Making the tooth enamel stronger against acids in the mouth formed by bacteria and sugar
  • Helping to reduce the amount of bacteria on the tooth surface

Water fluoridation is a common practice in U.S. public water systems. However, bottled water, home treatment systems, and private well water may not be fluoridated. The lack of fluoride for infants and children during the crucial formative years may contribute to tooth decay.

“Topical” applications such as toothpaste and mouth rinses can supply that fluoride. If you’re concerned about getting enough fluoride to protect your teeth, Kraklow Family Dentistry offers fluoride treatments in the office to make sure all teeth receive the benefits of fluoride.
