Preventive Dentistry

FLUORIDE APPLICATION FOR TEETH
The enamel of the tooth is made up minerals. These minerals also have a tendency to dissolve; a process called demineralization. Your teeth constantly need to replace these lost minerals (Remineralisation) caused by acid and also constant chewing and biting. This is where fluoride application can help. Remineralisation strengthens teeth, prolongs a tooth’s ability to fight decay and cavities and also maintains it to the same size.
Benefits of Fluoride Application:

Dentists use a special tooth coloured liquid paste to seal these tiny fissures or grooves effectively and prevent tooth decay. Usually it is done for children after 6 years. The entire treatment takes just a few minutes and is painless.
Dental sealants are a great way to keep your teeth protected and free of bacteria and possible decay, specially on tooth surface with deep grooves which are hard to clean.
