Fluoride

Topical fluoride treatments help keep your child’s teeth cavity-free between visits by strengthening the enamel. At Oasis Kids Dental, we apply a fluoride varnish that is brushed onto the teeth. Fluoride varnish hardens when it comes in contact with saliva, forming a hard film that is brushed off later that evening.

Dr. Oluwayemisi Akinrefon and her hygiene team are happy to answer all your questions about fluoride treatments and treatment options.Older children usually have a tray loaded with foam fluoride placed in their mouths for a specific amount of time along with a suction straw to remove any foam overflow and saliva. When the time is up, your child is told not to eat or drink for at least 30 minutes to allow the fluoride to work.
