Family Dentistry at its Best!
Tooth sealants are a clear material that are placed in the grooves of the biting surfaces of back teeth. Plaque, which is a bacteria and food, collects in these grooves and can cause decay. Sealants are an important part of a preventive dental care program. Ask us today if sealants are right for your child.
Preventative Dentistry for your family includes:
Routine 6 month cleanings
Oral hygiene instruction
X-rays and Intra Oral pictures
Fluoride Treatments
Sealants
External Fluoride treatments such as professional applications, fluoridated toothpastes and rinses, do have an effect. Like any nutrient, fluoride is beneficial in the proper amounts. About three-fourths of American cities add additional fluoride to the water supply for the prevention of tooth decay.
At each 6 month cleaning we will give your child a fluoride treatment.

Routine dental cleanings usually include polishing (plaque and stain removal) and scaling or tartar removal of all tooth surfaces above the gums. The frequency of cleaning visits depends on your case. Some people tend to accumulate stain and tartar much quicker than others. The amount of time needed to perform a cleaning varies depending on the condition of your mouth.
