Modern dental technology has given us effective methods of preventing cavities. This means fewer fillings for our patients. The more we can preserve your natural tooth tissue, the better.
- Sealants: These sealants are painted onto the chewing surfaces of the teeth, keeping bacteria from collecting on these surfaces. The crevices in these surfaces are where most cavities start.
- Fluoride treatments: Fluoride has the quality of hardening tooth enamel, which means bacteria have a harder time damaging it. We create bite trays for our patients which hold our fluoride formula against the teeth for a specified period of time.
Please call us at (636) 434-1244 if you have any questions about these treatments.
