If your child’s tooth enamel is weak, that’s not the best sign. There is a chance harmful substances, like bacteria and acid, can attack the enamel and create dental issues. So, it’s best to do all you can to help your child’s enamel gain its strength back so they could have a strong and healthy smile.
The best thing you can do is turn to fluoride, which is a natural mineral that benefits your teeth. In fact, fluoride strengthens and nourishes the enamel, helping your teeth fight bacteria. So, make sure your child brushes their teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day if they are old enough. Another way you can help the teeth is by giving your child tap water because it is usually fluoridated. The last way you can help the teeth is by giving your child a professional fluoride treatment at our office every six months.
In order to prevent this from happening again, you can keep exposing your child’s teeth to fluoride (you can do so by using the tips mentioned before), not giving your child acidic foods and beverages, and bringing your child into our office twice a year for a routine dental cleaning and exam.
