Dental Sealants
Dental sealants play a pivotal role in preventive pediatric dentistry. Should Dr. Shafiei assess your child as a suitable candidate for sealants, they will benefit from a protective coating applied directly to the chewing surfaces of their teeth. This procedure is exceptionally effective at thwarting decay on those surfaces. By sealing the crevices and grooves, the sealant acts as a formidable shield, safeguarding the tooth enamel against plaque and cavities.
The application of sealants is straightforward and swift, requiring just a few minutes per tooth. Despite their ease of application, sealants are durable, withstanding normal chewing forces and can protect your child’s teeth for many years before potentially needing reapplication
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments are another cornerstone of preventive dental care, particularly in bolstering the teeth’s defenses against decay. These treatments aid in remineralizing teeth, enhancing their resilience against acidic attacks. A fluoride treatment is a quick and simple process, often administered at the conclusion of a cleaning or checkup appointment.
