At Greenwoods Pediatric Dentistry Centre, we believe in stopping cavities before they start. That’s why we offer fluoride treatments and dental sealants — two simple, safe, and powerful ways to help protect your child’s teeth as they grow.
What Is Fluoride Treatment?
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen enamel — the protective outer layer of teeth.

🦷 Why These Treatments Matter
Cavities in baby teeth can cause pain, infection, and even affect adult tooth development. By combining fluoride and sealants with good brushing habits and regular cleanings, we give your child’s smile the best chance to stay healthy and strong.
These treatments are especially helpful for:
- Kids with early signs of weak enamel
- Those with a history of cavities
- Children still perfecting their brushing technique
- Busy families who want extra protection between visits
