Common questions
Is fluoride safe for my child?
Yes, at the doses used in a dental office. Fluoride varnish is painted on in seconds, sets on contact and is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. We'll always discuss it with you first.
What is 'non-operative' treatment?
It means arresting or slowing decay without drilling, using materials such as fluoride varnish or silver diamine fluoride. It's especially useful for very young children, or for a child who isn't ready to sit through a filling yet.
Which foods cause the most cavities?
Frequency matters more than quantity. Sipping juice or milk through the day, or grazing on crackers and gummies, keeps the mouth acidic for hours. Same snack, one sitting, is far kinder to teeth.
