Regarding your oral health, it’s essential to be proactive and get regular checkups with your dentist. Protective sealants are a great place to start, these are dentist-applied treatments used to protect teeth from decay. The tooth-colored or clear liquid sealant quickly bonds into the deep grooves on the chewing surfaces of teeth. This forms a protective barrier that keeps out plaque and bacteria that cause cavities. Sealants can last for many years but need to be checked for wear and reapplied as necessary. They are most often used on the permanent back teeth (molars) of children and adolescents but can also be used on adult teeth. Ask your dentist if sealants are right for you or your child.
Prophylaxis is a preventive dental treatment used to clean teeth and gums, and to remove tartar, calculus and stains. It is usually carried out by a dentist or hygienist. The aim of prophylaxis is to prevent tooth decay, gum disease and other oral health problems. Prophylaxis is usually recommended for people who are at high risk of developing these conditions, such as those with poor dental hygiene, a history of gum disease or diabetes. The procedure can also be used to treat early stages of gum disease. During prophylaxis, the dentist or hygienist will use special instruments to remove tartar, calculus and stains from the teeth. They will also polish the teeth to remove any surface irregularities. Prophylaxis is usually carried out every six months, although some people may need more frequent treatments.
Fluoride is a mineral that occurs naturally in many water sources, including rivers, lakes, and the ocean. It is also found in some foods and drinks, such as tea and fish. Fluoride treatments can help reduce tooth decay risk, especially in children and adolescents.
Professional teeth cleaning services are usually affordable and convenient, and they can make a big difference in the health of your teeth. So if you’re looking for the best way to keep your smile looking its best, consider professional teeth cleaning services.
