Going to the dentist is an important part of any child's dental health, as is brushing and flossing on a regular basis. Most of us learn of the importance of these steps at a young age. But there is one other important dental tool that is fighting tooth decay and helping children grow up with healthy, strong teeth. It's called fluoride. Fluoride is a natural mineral that can help protect and strengthen teeth, preventing tooth decay. It occurs naturally in drinking water and in certain types of foods. It's also an important ingredient in dental products like toothpaste and mouth wash. Many community governments choose to add a safe amount of fluoride to the drinking water of the community in order to help children develop strong teeth. When safe amounts of fluoride are swallowed via drinking water, it is distributed through the body's blood stream and to the teeth, helping to strengthen them. It helps in the development of permanent teeth in children between the ages of six months and 16 years. The ideal amount of fluoride needed in a community's water system needs to be about 0.6 parts per million in order to be an effective aid to tooth development. Any lower than that and your child may need supplemental fluoride. It's important to find out what the fluoride content is in your area's water supply. If lower than the recommended, talk to your dentist about fluoride supplements for your child so that he or she can grow up with healthy teeth and avoid tooth decay.
