  2. Power Shields for the SweetTeeth A very common preventive pediatric dental recommended procedure is pit and fissure sealants, or as we like to call them – “power shields” forteeth! WHY DO KIDS NEEDTHEM? Any molar surface that forms with deeper pits andgrooves would be likely to trap food and bacteria and so the likelihood that dental decay could begin in these difficult to clean areas is quite high. Most patients can benefit from sealants around age 6 when their first permanent molars typically erupt and again when they are a bit older and erupt their second permanent molars, which is usually around age12.

  3. HOW DOES THE PROCEDUREGO? The application of sealants can help prevent decay inyour child’s teeth with a few simple steps and can be completed in only a few moments per tooth. It is a non-invasive procedure that requires no removal of tooth structure and is completelypainless. Painting On Your Child'sTeethSweet Teeth A protective coating called fluoride gel that’s appliedin the dental office twice a year is an easy, quick, cost-effective method for the prevention ofcavities.

  4. WHEN TO DO THETREATMENT? “Painting” the teeth at the end of our patients visits and it can be applied to primary (baby) or permanent teeth to help against the battle of toothdecay. Therehavebeenmanystudiesthatshowthatfluoridetherapycan reduce the incidence of cavities by 37-43% by inhibiting the loss of minerals from tooth enamel and killing the bacteria that cause cavities. Fluoride treatments also help treat enamel sensitivity and restore the strength ofenamel. WHO SHOULD GET THE TREATMENTDONE?
