Fluoride treatments involve the application of a concentrated fluoride solution to the teeth, strengthening the enamel and making it more resistant to decay. This quick and painless procedure is particularly beneficial for patients at high risk of cavities, including children and adults with a history of frequent decay. Dentists may recommend fluoride treatments based on your risk factors and oral health needs.
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars) to prevent decay. The sealant material fills in the deep grooves and pits of these teeth, creating a smooth surface that's easier to clean and less likely to trap food particles and bacteria. Sealants are especially recommended for children and teenagers but can benefit adults as well, particularly those prone to cavities.
