Preventive dentistry is essential (and highly
recommended) for children. Early examination and
cleanings before bacteria even get a chance to
build up can ensure a lifetime of dental
health. Fluoride treatments are a useful measure
in preventing tooth decay in children. Sealants
are also preventive, they help to protect
childrens posterior /or back teeth. Sealants are
painted onto the top surface of the teeth to
prevent decay. When you seal these teeth as soon
as they come in, they can stay cavity-free for
life. Oral care practices are just as important
as dental visits regularly that includes for
children too.
