What is the importance of fluoride in pediatric dental care?
Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. It can be found in toothpaste, mouth rinses, and community water supplies. Pediatricians and dentists often recommend fluoride treatments for children who are at high risk of dental caries. It's important to use an appropriate amount of fluoride toothpaste for different age groups to avoid dental fluorosis.
