Apply fluoride to your baby's teeth?

Fluoride is currently recognized as the most cost -effective anti -moth -proof ingredients. It regularly applies fluorine to the baby's teeth, which can well protect the teeth from being invaded by bacteria, thereby preventing the tooth decay [1]. And there is no need to grind teeth in the fluoride, just like brushing, it is higher than the baby.

For fluoride treatment, there is no clear age restriction. Considering that there are still no ways to cooperate with doctors, it is recommended that babies over 2 years of age accept fluoride. In addition, in order to pursue continuous prevention effects, you can apply fluoride at least twice a year.

There are no fixed answers to how many years old should be applied. The dentist will evaluate the baby's oral hygiene and the risk of caries. As long as the baby can independently complete the brushing teeth with good effects, and the risk of caries is low, fluoride can be stopped.

How to apply fluorine to your baby?

Fluoride must be operated by a professional doctor

Parents must not apply fluoride to their babies themselves. They must be operated by professional dentists.

Infants under the age of 2, use fluoride drops when applying fluoride, drip on the surface of the teeth, and can enter the body with saliva.

The frequency of fluoride is recommended twice a year

Two times a year, this is a very secure frequency of use.

However, for children with severe tooth decay in the mouth, you can also apply fluoride every 3 months, and you can consult a professional doctor for specific methods and methods.

Just apply fluoride babies

Isn't you ever ever ever growing?

Fluoride is just a way to prevent, not for all, it can only reduce the occurrence of tooth decay and not be eliminated.
