Fluoridation

By supplementing the amount of fluoride in the teeth, for prophylactic purposes, fluoridation has the role of preventing the formation of carious lesions and reducing the progression of already existing caries. Junior&Family Dental Clinics dentists recommend fluoridation for:

• children and young people between the ages of 6 and 16, during the formation of permanent teeth;
• adults who present conditions with a high risk for caries, such as dry mouth syndrome or gum disease;
• Patients with dental restorations or orthodontic appliances.
