Preventive Dentistry
When it comes to dental care, we usually think of it as something that we have to do after we have a problem. We go to the dentist when we have a toothache or we need to get our teeth cleaned. But what if we could avoid these problems altogether? This is where preventive dentistry comes in. Preventive dentistry is all about taking care of your teeth and gums so that you can avoid problems like cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
This can be done through regular dental checkups, cleanings, x-rays and more.
Fluoride Application
Fluoride can help you and your child’s teeth stay healthy by preventing the early signs of cavities from developing further. Fluoride works by making the tooth structure stronger and more resistant to acid attacks. It also helps to repair early signs of tooth decay.
At Lilac Medical Centre, we apply Topical fluoride to your teeth: which includes fluoride toothpastes, mouth rinses, gels, and varnishes. They are applied directly to the teeth.
The best way to prevent cavities is to use a combination of both topical and systemic fluoride and our dentists will help you find a good balance of fluoride to keep your teeth healthy and strong.
Fissure Sealant
A fissure sealant is a thin, plastic coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (premolars and molars) the teeth which are most prone to decay. The sealant bonds into the tiny grooves (pits and fissures) in the teeth and acts as a barrier, protecting the enamel from plaque and acids.
Fissure sealants are an important part of preventive dental care for children, adolescents and adults, especially for those with known family history of tooth decay and other chronic problems. A fissure sealant might be a long term solution to keeping the teeth healthy.
Periodic Screening
Good oral health is essential for overall health and well-being. Yet, many people do not see a dentist regularly for preventive care. Periodic dental screening and cleaning can help prevent problems such as tooth decay and gum disease. It is important to see a dentist or other oral health care professional for a check-up at least once every 6 months.
There are a number of different ways to screen for dental disease, including visual examination, X-rays, and periodontal probing. Our dentist will use a combination of these methods to get a complete picture of your oral health.
Periodic screening is an important part of preventive dental care. It can help to identify problems early, when they are most easily treated and help make your road to recovery much faster and pain-free.
