Tooth decay prevention
 

Fluoride, in proper dosage, has been shown to significantly reduce dental decay.  When fluoridated water has less than the ideal amount or is not available, fluoride supplements are recommended.  (A call to your local water district is all that is necessary to determine whether your water has fluoride or not.)

When supplements are needed, the administration of fluoride supplements should begin shortly after birth and continue through the time of eruption of the second permanent molars (approx. 12 years of age).

Regular dental check-ups at Dennis J Carmody DDS should begin no later than 18 months of age.

If you have any questions or need more information, don't hesitate to our office at 321 631-8088.

*Minimal sedation, also known as anxiolysis, is the use of oral and inhalation medications to relieve anxiety before and
during dental procedures that minimally reduce consciousness in an effort to reduce fear and anxiety,
while still maintaining normal breathing and the ability to respond appropriately to physical and verbal stimulation.
