塗氟可以減少口內酸性環境對齒質表面的負面影響,進而達到預防蛀牙的目的。
6歲以下的孩童,目前由政府補助,每6個月可至牙科院所塗一次氟。但實際塗氟的頻率,還是需要與牙齒師共同評估完蛀牙風險後,視風險高低決定。因此在高蛀牙風險的孩子,甚至需要每3個月就塗一次氟。
Fluoride can reduce the negative impact of an acid dental environment and prevent caries. For children under six years old, fluoride varnish is public funded and can be done in a dental clinic every six months. However, the actual frequency should be decided after a jointly-conducted caries-risk assessment by parents and dentists. The result will determine whether a fluoride varnish is needed at what intervals.
