Prevention and Protection in a nutshell
Preventive dental care for children
Preventive dental care for children includes regular examinations, fluoride application, fissure sealants, and professional cleaning where needed. These treatments are designed to reduce the risk of tooth decay, strengthen enamel, and identify early changes before they develop into more serious problems.
The approach is adjusted based on each child’s age, oral hygiene, and risk of decay.
Treatment Options
Fissure sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to help prevent decay.
- Most commonly used when adult molars first erupt
- Help protect deep grooves that are difficult to clean
- Quick, non-invasive application
- Require periodic review over time
