Toothpastes
One of the dental treatments that prevents tooth decay is dental sealant. These are clear plastic coatings that are applied to the biting surface of the posterior molars. These sealants protect the tooth against cavities by protecting it against plaque and bacteria. They are usually placed on a child's permanent posterior molars, as they are at increased risk for cavities. These sealants are generally applied in a liquid state, which hardens in seconds and adheres to the tooth surface.
One of the most effective treatments for preventing tooth decay, dental sealants are known to be very effective in preventing cavities in pits and crevices. The choice of these generally depends on the risk factors of the child, the morphology of the pits and fissures, and the presence of the disease. Most dental cavities in children and adolescents occur on the biting surfaces of their posterior molars. These teeth often have pits and grooves, which often contain food and bacteria/plaque. Brushing your teeth alone is not enough, as you cannot get through these areas. fluoride dental treatments flow effectively through these pits and grooves, providing a barrier against cavities. These sealants prevent spoilage by sealing food and oxygen that the plaque draws out to cause cavities.
Fluoride treatment
Fluoride treatments are often given to children. Children with a history of cavities or at high risk for cavities are advised to take extra fluoride to prevent cavities. Children often receive fluoride treatment every six months for added protection against cavities, even if they have already received fluoridated water. Fluoride treatments given by dentists in a dental clinic have a higher concentration of fluoride than over-the-counter fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash. Dental offices, like the Westchester Pediatric Dentist, are chemically different and more durable.
Tooth brushing instructions:
Brushing your teeth is easy, but many people brush their teeth incorrectly. They jump so much that they can't clean anything, or they rub so hard they can damage your teeth and gums.
Here are 4 steps to brushing your teeth properly:
1. Place the bristles along the gum line (the point where the teeth and gums meet) at 45 degrees. The bristles should touch both the tooth surface and the gums.
2. Gently brush the gums toward the edge of the teeth to move plaque away from the gum line.
3. Gently brush back and forth in short strokes, one at a time, starting from the outer teeth to the inner surfaces.
4. Brush the biting surface of the teeth in horizontal movements. Spit out the toothpaste and rinse with water or mouthwash.
Always pay special attention to the gum lines, as these are areas where gum disease usually begins, as well as the posterior molars, where bacteria tend to accumulate.
