Dental caries is a globally widespread disease, which damages the structure of our teeth and can lead to pain, tooth loss and infection. Therefore, it is advised that regular checks and preventatives measures be taken to prevent serious dental problems. At ART MEDIC DENT, we offer you various dental hygiene examinations and treatments.
Dental sealant application
The use of dental sealants is a good means of prevention. Pits and frissures found on the chewing surface of our teeth can be too deep, which makes oral hygiene along these surfaces difficult. When brushing our teeth at home, we cannot always clean the grooves properly. As a result, accumulation of bacteria makes dental caries common in these areas. Sealants are thin plastic-like coating applied to the chewing surface of the molars. This coating prevents the accumulation of plaque and formation of dental cavities in our teeth.
Flouride therapy
Flouride therapy is the delivery of flouride to the teeth topically or systematically, which is designed to prevent dental caries. Flouride is proved to combat tooth decay and reduce tooth sensitivity in several ways: It promotes the remineralization of enamel, the top layer of our teeth. The incorporated flouride makes enamel more resistant to tooth decay than it was before. Flouride also decreases the rate at which bacteria in dental plaque can produce acid, which is the primary cause of dental cavities. Flouride therapy is commonly practiced in modern dentistry. Our dentists at ART MEDIC DENT professionally apply topical flourides in the form of gels, forms or varnishes.
