Dental Sealants: The chewing surfaces of the premolars and molars have pits and crevices that can trap food debris and bacteria, making them prone to developing cavities. Dental sealants are thin, protective shields that cover the chewing surfaces of the teeth, lowering the risk of tooth decay. Sealants are usually applied when a child’s permanent molars come in, around ages 6-8 and 11-13. However, adolescents and adults can also benefit from dental sealant placement.
Remineralization Therapy: Remineralization therapy offers a minimally invasive solution to address white spot lesions and reverse early decay without anesthesia or drilling. The groundbreaking dental innovation includes placing mineral-rich gels or solutions into custom trays that are worn over the teeth to restore essential minerals. Remineralization therapy helps reverse white lesions and early decay while reducing the risk of future damage.
