PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY

Professional dental cleaning is performed to remove plaque and tartar deposits from both above and below the gumline. It helps in preventing the development of periodontal diseases. You should get your teeth professionally cleaned twice a year for a squeaky clean mouth.

Brushing your teeth regularly is essential for good oral health. But often the thin bristles of your toothbrush are not able to reach the fine grooves and fissures present on the chewing surfaces of molars. As a result, plaque and food particles lay entrapped in these vulnerable areas. This leads to tooth decay and bacterial infestation. To solve this problem, your dentist will coat the chewing surfaces of your teeth with a dental sealant to seal the vulnerable areas. Dental sealants are fine coats of plastic which act as a physical barrier and protect teeth from bacteria and decay.

Fluoride varnish is painted on the surface of teeth to make them strong and prevent the development of cavities. Fluoride remineralizes the tooth enamel and fights the bacteria that harm teeth and gums.
