Preventive Treatment Services
PREVENTIVE TREATMEANT SERVICES:
1.Topical fluoride
Topical fluoride is a preventive agent that contains fluoride in high concentration. It can come as a gel that is placed on a foam tray and held against the teeth for a few minutes or as a varnish that is painted on the enamel of the teeth. Varnish is useful for young patients and those patients who may not be able to tolerate the foam tray.
2. Fissure sealant
Fissure sealants are plastic coatings that are painted on to the grooves of the back teeth.The sealant forms a protective layer that keeps food and bacteria from getting stuck in the tiny grooves in the teeth and causing decay. Resin-based fissure sealants should be applied to the permanent molars of all children as early after eruption as possible.
