Protecting Your Kids Against Fluorosis

Your kids’ smiles will go through significant changes as they age, and you should be aware that their needs for oral health support will differ from yours. One worry is that they will be exposed to too much fluoride at an early age, which can lead to a form of discoloration known as fluorosis. Your Rochester, MN dentist’s office is prepared to help you identify both the right and wrong approaches to meeting the oral health needs of your children. In addition to providing this kind of guidance, you can rely on pediatric dental visits to provide welcome feedback about their development and oral health needs to help them grow up with lovely, confident smiles!

Fluorosis Can Lead To Noticeable Dental Flaws

Toothpaste certainly has a positive role to play in protecting our teeth. However, for smaller children, exposure to too much of the fluoride contained in toothpaste can have an unintended consequence. This overexposure leads to issues with fluorosis, which can alter tooth color by leaving small white spots. While many people who have this issue only have mild or even very mild, it can be significant enough to cause real cosmetic concerns. One way to avoid this is to use an metered toothpaste dispenser, which can control the amount used. Another is to talk with your dentist during a pediatric dental visit and make sure you know how much toothpaste to use and how to generally provide the right care at home for your little ones.

The Importance Of Developing Good Oral Hygiene Habits Early

The right approach to oral health care at an early age will be important for your kids. The right support at home lowers their risks for cavities that interfere with the development of their smile and the arrival of their adult teeth. Positive early experiences at the dentist’s office will also help them, both because they receive effective care and because they can grow more comfortable with care. That comfort can stay with them and make them more likely to keep up with good dental health habits as adults!
