Pit And Fissure Sealants
Fluoride Application
Problem
Children are particularly susceptible to tooth decay, especially in the grooves and pits (fissures) of their back teeth (molars and premolars). These areas can be difficult to clean effectively with regular brushing.
Solution by Our Clinic
Pit and fissure sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. They act as a barrier, preventing food particles and bacteria from settling into the grooves and causing cavities.
Benefits to Patients
Preventive Measure: Sealants significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay in vulnerable areas, providing long-lasting protection.
Painless Application: Applying sealants is quick and painless, requiring no drilling or anesthesia.
Cost-effective: Sealants are a cost-effective way to prevent cavities and avoid more extensive dental treatments in the future.
Fluoride Application
Problem
Children may not receive enough fluoride, a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities.
Solution by Our Clinic
Fluoride application involves applying fluoride varnish or gel to the teeth, enhancing their resistance to decay and promoting remineralization of weakened enamel.
Benefits to Patients
Stronger Teeth: Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to acids and bacteria.
Cavity Prevention: Regular fluoride application reduces the risk of cavities, particularly in children prone to dental decay.
Safe and Quick: Fluoride treatments are safe and can be completed in a single visit, providing immediate benefits.
Space Maintainers
Problem
Premature loss of baby teeth or early extraction of primary teeth can lead to misalignment and spacing issues as permanent teeth erupt.
Solution by Our Clinic
Space maintainers are custom-made devices designed to hold space for permanent teeth, preventing adjacent teeth from shifting into the empty space and leading to crooked teeth in the future.
Benefits to Patients
Promotes Proper Development: Space maintainers help guide erupting permanent teeth into their correct positions, reducing the need for orthodontic treatment later.
Preserves Dental Health: Maintaining space prevents crowding and ensures that teeth align properly, promoting optimal oral health.
Customized Solutions: Space maintainers are tailored to each child’s specific dental needs, ensuring effective treatment.
SDF Cavity Liquid (Silver Diamine Fluoride)
Problem
Some children may have cavities that are small or difficult to treat with traditional methods, or they may have dental anxiety that makes conventional treatments challenging.
Solution by Our Clinic
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is an antimicrobial liquid that can be applied to cavities to halt their progression and prevent further decay. It is especially useful for treating cavities in young children or patients with special needs.
