What it is
A child's first visit is a short one, and it is ten minutes from home rather than an hour.
At Post Family Dentistry, fluoride treatments are a key part of our pediatric preventive care. Dr. Xochitl Anderton, DDS, applies professional-strength fluoride to strengthen your child's developing teeth and fight decay.
