Types of Preventative Dentistry
Fissure Seal
Molar teeth have grooves on their top surface which are too small for a brush to clean, thus bacteria may grow and create a hole. To prevent this, Dr Danny and Dr Josie will clean the area and fill it with a white dental material. This prevents a hole from ever starting and makes the area easy to clean. The procedure is similar to having your nails painted and does not need a needle.
Fluoride Treatment?
A fluoride treatment is used to strengthen the teeth. Dr Danny and Dr Josie will regularly give fluoride treatments after dental cleans. They come in many fun flavors, like strawberry and cinnamon apple. We use a foam which stays on your teeth for one minute, after which you will not eat or drink for 30 minutes. The fluoride works to strengthen your teeth making them more resistant to sugar and acid attacks.
