Preventive Care

Our goal at Forever Smiles is to supply the care your child needs from an early age to maintain healthy teeth. From cleanings and digital x-rays to fluoride treatments and dental sealants, we can help keep them on track.

Professional Cleaning and Fluoride Treatment

We currently use slow-speed handpieces and specialized polishes with or without fluoride. We also offer flavored and non-flavored polishes for taste-sensitive children.

Digital X-rays

Our x-ray systems produce some of the lowest radiation in the industry, with an entire series of x-rays being comparable to the radiation encountered by the body on a day outdoors.

Sealants

A preventative tool using resin-based composite that we utilize to fill in deep grooves on permanent molars to help prevent cavities in the important youth years as children are learning how to brush and floss properly.

Fluoride Treatment – Strengthen and Protect Growing Smiles

Fluoride treatment is a simple, effective way to help protect your child’s teeth from cavities and strengthen developing enamel.
 
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps rebuild weakened areas of the tooth and makes enamel more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars. Our in-office fluoride treatments provide a higher level of protection than what is available in toothpaste or drinking water.
 
The American Dental Association (ADA) strongly recommends the use of fluoride as a safe and effective way to prevent tooth decay in children and adults. According to the ADA, professionally applied fluoride treatments are an important part of preventive dental care, especially for children who are at higher risk for cavities.
 
This preventive treatment is especially beneficial for children, as their teeth are still developing and more vulnerable to decay. Regular fluoride applications can help reduce the risk of cavities and support long-term oral health.

Benefits of Fluoride Treatment:

  • Strengthens tooth enamel
  • Helps prevent cavities
  • Reverses early signs of tooth decay
  • Quick and painless application
  • Safe and effective for children
  • Supported by the American Dental Association
  • Supports long-term oral health
Fluoride treatments are a valuable part of your child’s preventive dental care plan. During your visit, we will recommend the best schedule based on your child’s individual needs to keep their smile strong and healthy.
