Fluoride is essential for protecting your child’s teeth against decay and cavities. It strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to the acids produced by harmful bacteria in the mouth. At Signature Smiles Dental Group, we stay updated with the latest guidelines from the American Dental Association (ADA) to offer the best fluoride care for your child’s unique needs in Milpitas CA.

Updated ADA Guidelines on Fluoride Use for Children

The ADA now recommends prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste for children at higher risk of tooth decay. This advancement helps provide an extra layer of protection where it’s needed mos

How Fluoride Works to Protect Teeth:

• Strengthens tooth enamel and repairs early decay.
• Reduces acid production from plaque bacteria.
• Promotes remineralization of teeth after acid attacks.
