Sealing and fluoridation

Keep your child’s teeth healthy by sealing and fluoridation

Teeth sealing is a preventive process against danger of caries, a method by which posterior teeth are covered with flowable composites that will protect teeth from caries attack. The sealing process is short and painless. The dentist applies the coating on each tooth in a few minutes, after it is washed, cleaned properly and then dried. The protective layer is applied to the chewing (occlusal) surfaces of teeth, where appear the most of cracks. Dental fluoridation conducted in the dental office means administration of concentrated fluoride agent on each tooth. The role is not only to protect, but also to strengthen the tooth structure.
