Everything you need to know about Fluoride

Introduction

Fluoride has been added to water supplies, toothpaste, and other products for its health benefits since the 1940’s. Since that time, the methods of fluoride delivery have been extensively researched and have evolved. Today, fluoridation is the single most effective public health policy to prevent tooth decay and maintain oral health over a lifetime.

However, people have recently had controversy about the effectiveness of fluoride, and their fear of negative side effects has increased. But we believe that parents can feel comfortable with fluoride use if they understand fluoride as a whole: from its actions to its delivery systems, to its side effects.

      The staff is all tailored to every child’s needs. I have watched them provide excellent service to not only my 4 children for the last 13 years but any child that is in there. I bring 4 wild children in at the same time everytime and although they are grown to not being running wild anymore, when they were they understood and were respectful. They are a well oiled machine and dr. NGO is amazing. They are gentle and allow the children a safe place to take it all in. This place will not traumatize your children. As we know the dentist isn’t fun. This place is fun. Thank you kids focus. One happy mom
