Our safe fluoride treatment fights and reverses cavities … for your child’s healthiest, happiest smile!

Mona Dental for Kids is a proud partner with parents and their kids, supporting healthy childhood development. Fluoride treatment is one of the best things that you can do to avoid developmental hiccups, not limited to early tooth decay like cavities. 

A naturally-occurring mineral, fluoride is present in municipal water supplies, oral care products like toothpaste, and some foods. Our dentist, Dr. Mona Houshiar, exclusively treats children from her office in Spring, Texas. Dr. Houshiar recommends that fluoride from sources (such as those mentioned here) be supplemented with professional products and treatment. 

Fluoride supplementation is safe, fast, affordable, painless, and effective when in her highly skilled hands. We can easily integrate topical fluoride application into regular dental check-ups, routinely scheduled once every six months or twice per year. Such proactive care is appropriate for infants aged six months up to adulthood. Your child’s primary (baby) and secondary (permanent) teeth are forming during these age ranges. And, yes, temporary baby teeth are still important since they help to guide the permanent teeth into proper positions. 

Professional fluoride supplementation functions as an aid to keep erupting teeth healthy during a child’s formative years. This mineral’s unique qualities include the following: 

• Adds beneficial minerals back into the tooth to restore its strength (a process called “remineralization”)
• Stops existing cavities from growing larger and becoming worse, which can then lead to extensive damage and even the early loss of a tooth
• Builds up teeth that have been weakened by enamel erosion 
• Reverses the effects of early-stage dental decay or enamel erosion 

Safe, professional fluoride at the dentist’s office can take on many different forms – from varnishes to foams. Dr. Houshiar may simply “brush” liquid fluoride onto the teeth. We will advise on how to care for the treated teeth in the minutes and hours after fluoride is applied. 

Mona Dental for Kids also offers an advanced “twist” on conventional topical fluoride: SDF. Silver Diamine Fluoride is uniquely formulated with bacteria-fighting silver and ammonia to ensure the maximum effectiveness of active ingredients. It may even be used with other fluoride varnishes to keep your child’s teeth looking, feeling, and “being” their healthy best.
