Preventive Dentistry and Cleanings
Professional Fluoride Therapy
Fluoride therapy has been proven beneficial in maintaining optimal oral health, particularly in the prevention of tooth decay and hypersensitivity. Professional fluoride treatments, combined with daily home therapy, can often times improve dental health. Treatment options vary according to a patient's susceptibility to decay, level of tooth sensitivity, periodontal (gum) condition and number of cosmetic restorations.
Sealants
Like fluoride, dental sealants can give today's children a head start on good oral health and are most beneficial when applied to the permanent molars as soon as they grow in.
A sealant is an opaque resin material that is applied directly to cavity-prone chewing surfaces and deep grooves of the back teeth and provides protection against decay. Although effective against fighting cavities sealants do not eliminate the need for daily homecare, and children still need to brush and floss.
