Whole mouth fluoride means that fluoride is applied evenly to all the teeth using a small brush and should be done in a dental clinic.
Fluoride application is a simple yet effective way to protect milk teeth, and it is generally recommended that children before the age of 6 have their mouths fluoridated every six months.
Children’s milk teeth are less mineralized than permanent teeth, and with snacking or fine eating habits and poor brushing, they are prone to caries in the long run. Applying fluoride is like brushing a tree with a layer of protective paint, and the doctor puts an armor on the teeth. First, the doctor needs to clean all the tooth surfaces, and second, apply fluoride evenly on the teeth.
Fluoride application on milk teeth makes the tooth surface stronger and more resistant to acids. Fluoride treatment is recommended at a regular healthcare facility.
