Precautions for children's fluoride application

Babies' tooth decay is a big worry for parents, so many parents will take their babies to get fluoride applied to prevent tooth decay. So, what are the precautions for children to apply fluoride?

In fact, the process of applying fluoride to children's teeth is very simple and does not take too much time. The dentist will apply fluoride (in order to make children better accept it, fluoride generally has a fruity flavor) to the surface of the teeth. It only takes 1 minute each time, and this process will not cause any pain to the baby, especially for newly grown teeth. Do not let your baby drink water, beverages, eat or rinse his mouth within half an hour to one hour after applying fluoride. Also, you must go to the dentist to apply fluoride to your teeth, because fluoride can only be applied after the doctor has strictly and thoroughly cleaned the teeth.

Another type is fluoridated foam to prevent tooth decay. It uses foam to adhere to the surface and gaps of teeth, releasing fluoride, thus preventing tooth decay. Generally speaking, children are suitable for fluoride foam to prevent tooth decay. However, children with colds, stomach problems or gastrointestinal discomfort should postpone using this method during the illness, as well as children with oral mucosal damage such as oral ulcers, herpetic stomatitis, etc. should also postpone using this method. It is not suitable for children with allergies or those who are difficult to cooperate.
