Professional fluoride applications to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay.
Looking for fluoride treatment in Laredo, TX? At Rodeo Dental Laredo, our experienced dental team provides fluoride treatment services for patients of all ages — from toddlers to seniors. We accept most insurance plans, Medicaid, and CHIP, and offer flexible payment options for families without coverage.
CHIP eligibility verified at the Guadalupe front desk
Before your child is called back, the front desk runs a live CHIP or Texas Medicaid eligibility check and walks you through exactly what the preventive visit covers. No surprise statements mailed to your house after.
2
Spanish-first narration through the cleaning
The hygienist and dental assistant switch to Spanish as the default when a parent prefers it, naming each instrument as they use it — espejito, contador de dientes, pasta de flúor — so the child hears friendly words, not clinical ones.
3
Lap exam option for first-visit toddlers
For a child's first preventive appointment at our 78040 office, a parent can hold the toddler knee-to-knee with the dentist instead of placing them alone in the chair. This is offered by default for under-threes referred from WIC or a 12-month pediatrician check.

Prevention is 10x cheaper than treatment. A little care now saves a lot later.
✓
Early-childhood cavities can progress quickly in primary teeth and reach the nerve before a child can describe the pain, which is why the first preventive visit is recommended by age one — not when a tooth already looks discolored.
✓
Skipping cleanings lets plaque harden into tartar that a toothbrush can't remove, and on primary teeth that buildup accelerates decay at the gumline where it's hardest for a parent to see.
✓
Fluoride varnish applied on a regular preventive schedule measurably strengthens enamel against the acid attacks from juice, milk, and snacks — protection that's lost the longer visits are postponed.

Rodeo Dental Laredo • Fluoride Treatments for all ages
What's Included in Your Fluoride Treatments — Laredo
Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Laredo, TX for fluoride treatments:
1.
Bilingual CHIP and Medicaid intake
Front-desk eligibility check for CHIP, Texas Medicaid, and commercial plans, completed in Spanish or English before the child is seated, with a clear walk-through of covered preventive codes.
2.
Knee-to-knee first exam for toddlers
For children under three or on a first visit, the dentist examines the child while they sit on the parent's lap facing the parent, heads meeting at the knees — letting a nervous toddler stay in contact with mom or dad throughout.
3.
Prophy paste and rubber-cup polish
A soft rubber cup on a low-speed handpiece applies fluoride-containing prophy paste to remove plaque and surface stain from each tooth, tuned to the gentler pressure appropriate for primary dentition.
4.
Bitewing radiographs when indicated
Small intraoral bitewing films are taken when posterior contacts have closed, catching interproximal decay between molars that a visual exam alone cannot see.
5.
5% sodium fluoride varnish application
A thin layer of 5% sodium fluoride varnish is painted onto the dried tooth surfaces at the end of the visit to remineralize enamel, with no-eating-or-drinking instructions given to the parent in their preferred language.
6.
Six-month recall scheduling at checkout
Before you leave, the front desk books the next cleaning six months out and sends bilingual text reminders at the one-week and day-before marks to the parent's phone on file.

Trusted by Laredo Families to Care for Their Smiles
Families and kids in Laredo count on us for gentle, quality care.
Dr. Jia Ming Shi leads the preventive team at our Guadalupe Street office, and the rhythm of a visit here is built around one idea: a child's first [cleaning](/services/preventive-dentistry/teeth-cleaning/guadalupe-laredo) should never feel like a test they can fail. The hygienists and dental assistants work in Spanish and English throughout the appointment, narrating each step — the little mirror, the "tooth counter," the [fluoride](/services/preventive-dentistry/fluoride-treatment/guadalupe-laredo) "vitamin paint" — so parents can translate in real time for their child and so grandma, who often comes along, understands exactly what's happening.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fluoride Treatments
Where exactly is the Guadalupe Street office and is there parking?
We're at 910 Guadalupe Street Suite A, Laredo, TX 78040, just south of Bruni Plaza. Street parking runs along Guadalupe and the side streets, and there's a small lot directly at Suite A — strollers and carseats fit easily through the main entrance.
Do you accept CHIP for my child's cleaning and fluoride visit?
Yes. We verify CHIP and Texas Medicaid eligibility at the front desk before the appointment begins, so you'll know what's covered before your child sits in the chair. Bring your CHIP card and the child's Social Security card or CHIP ID number.
What are your hours if I can only come after work or on Saturday?
Monday through Friday we're open 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. We're closed Sunday. Call (956) 884-4840 to book.
Can I bring my other kids with me if I only have one appointment scheduled?
Yes — siblings are welcome in the waiting area, and if you'd like us to see them the same day we can often schedule back-to-back preventive visits so one trip covers the whole family.

What makes our Laredo office unique for fluoride treatments
Fluoride Treatments for Laredo Families
Our Guadalupe Street office sits at 910 Guadalupe Street Suite A, a few blocks south of Bruni Plaza and walking distance from St. Augustine Cathedral in downtown Laredo's 78040 ZIP. The families we see here are largely bilingual Hispanic households from El Azteca, San Agustin, and the Heights neighborhoods — many arriving on foot from the nearby apartments or after a quick stop at the H-E-B on San Dario.
For first-time parents bringing a little one referred by their pediatrician or by WIC at the Laredo Health Department, preventive dentistry means catching early-childhood caries common in border communities where fluoride exposure varies and bottle-at-night habits are the norm. Saturday hours from 9 AM to 4 PM are built specifically for parents on hourly schedules at the port or in retail off Lafayette and San Bernardo, so a cleaning and fluoride visit doesn't cost anyone a workday.
