Dental Varnish

Healthy gums and teeth are important to your child's overall health. This is why your child's doctor will talk with you about good dental habits even before your child's first tooth appears.  


Our physicians prescribe oral fluoride supplementation starting at age 6 months for children whose water supply is deficient in fluoride.Once your child has a tooth, your doctor will recommend that your child receive fluoride varnish treatments in the pediatrician's office to help prevent tooth decay. This can be done 2 to 4 times per year. The number of treatments depends on how likely it is that your child may get a cavity.  

Pediatricians are trained to apply fluoride varnish because many young children do not see or have access to a dentist until they are older.  

Track Rx

   

The Kids in Parks program has established a network of trails designed to provide kids and families with fun outdoor activities. Through their TRACK Rx program, our providers are promoting this program and formally prescribing our patients to get active outdoors and reconnected to nature through this exciting program.
