- Teeth scaling – Removal of bacterial plaque, surface stains, and hardened tartar reduces risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Digital x-rays – Technology makes taking images quick and comfortable, with minimal exposure to radiation. These pictures give the doctor a look at what is going on inside teeth, bone, and soft tissues.
- Fluoride treatment – A pleasant tasting “varnish” is applied to seal pores and strengthen enamel. Treatment is painless and takes just a few minutes. With regular fluoride application, your child may never experience a filling. Fluoride is also a good choice for adults prone to tooth decay (including smokers), and it reduces sensitivity.
- Sealants – This cost-effective treatment prevents 80 percent of cavities in the first two years and continues to provide about 50 percent protection for several more years. That means fewer (or no) cavities in the chewing surfaces of molars. Kids should have treatment as soon as secondary teeth come in. Adults, especially those who enjoy sweets, drink soda, or have hereditarily soft enamel, also benefit from sealants.
