When Should Your Child Start Fluoride Treatments?

For Moorestown and Cherry Hill parents, fluoride treatments can start as soon as your child’s first teeth erupt—usually around 6 months of age. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends fluoride varnish for all children, especially those at moderate or high risk for tooth decay. At Tooth Patrol, we tailor every child’s care based on their unique needs and comfort level.

Whether it’s your child’s very first dental visit or their tenth, we’ll talk with you about their oral health habits and determine the best fluoride schedule. We’re always here to help you make informed choices that support your child’s long-term dental wellness.
