Preventive Dental Treatment

1. Fluoride Application: A Shield Against Tooth Decay

Fluoride is a dental superhero known for its ability to prevent and even reverse the early signs of dental cavities.

•  Topical Fluorides: These can be easily incorporated into your child’s daily routine. They include fluoride toothpaste and mouth rinses that can be self-applied with the supervision of a dentist. We will guide you on the best way to use these products effectively.
• Professional Fluoride Therapies: We also provide professional fluoride therapies in the form of gels, foams, and rinses. These treatments offer a higher concentration of fluoride and are ideal for children who may be at a higher risk of tooth decay.

 2. Pit and Fissure Sealants: Armor for Young Permanent Molars

We understand that newly erupted permanent molars can be vulnerable to decay due to their unique biting surface structure. To safeguard these teeth, we offer pit and fissure sealants—a simple but highly effective preventive measure.

• How Pit and Fissure Sealants Work?

– Protective Coating: Pit and fissure sealants are a clear, protective plastic coating that we apply to the biting surfaces of your child’s molars. This invisible shield acts as a barrier, preventing food particles and bacteria from infiltrating the tiny grooves and irregularities on the tooth’s surface.

– Painless Application: The application of sealants is a quick and painless procedure, making it an ideal solution for young patients. No drills or anesthesia are required.

 – Long-Lasting Defense: Sealants can provide protection for several years, reducing the risk of cavities in these hard-to-reach areas.

 3. Dietary Counseling:

In addition to dental treatments, we emphasize the importance of a tooth-friendly diet. We provide dietary counseling to help your child make smart choices when it comes to their eating habits. We will discuss the impact of sugary snacks and drinks on oral health and provide tips on maintaining a balanced diet that supports strong teeth.
