- Pediatric CareAs part of our comprehensive health care coverage, Pediatric Associates of Norwood and Franklin is happy to offer Fluoride Varnish Dental Treatments in our offices. Fluoride Varnish is a topical fluoride treatment that is applied directly to the teeth and has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of cavities in children. This type of treatment is often done in a dentist’s office; however, we realize that the cost of a dental visit plus the need to take additional time off of work can create barriers to adequate dental care. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children see a dentist starting at 1 year of age or within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth and that fluoride treatment be applied once every six months and up to four times per year. We are happy to provide all of our patients with a list of excellent pediatric dentists close to our offices; however, if you are not able to regularly take your child to the dentist, we are happy to provide Fluoride Varnish Treatment at all well visits. Many insurance companies are now offering medical coverage for this. Please, contact your insurance carrier to see if you have this valuable coverage.
