Fluoride treatments are utilized to enhance tooth enamel and prevent decay, making it a beneficial and painless treatment for all patients. Fluoride has the special capability to attract calcium and phosphorous to the surface of teeth, aiding in remineralization. This process can reverse and stop minor decay damage, as well as prevent cavities from developing fully. These treatments can be easily applied in just a few minutes following a cleaning.

Sealants are made with a unique dental resin that shields your teeth from cavities. The resin is applied in liquid form to your molars after a cleaning, and then hardened with a blue UV light. This forms a durable, transparent plastic barrier that blocks bacteria, acid, and food particles from reaching your teeth, ultimately preventing cavities.

Periodontal care involves treating gum disease through procedures such as scaling and root planing, which is a deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar from between the teeth and gums. This treatment also smooths out the roots of the teeth to prevent bacteria buildup. Antibiotic treatment is often used in conjunction with scaling and root planing to eliminate any remaining bacteria.

In more severe cases of gum disease, surgical intervention like gum grafting may be necessary. Gum grafting involves taking healthy tissue from one area, such as the roof of the mouth, and attaching it to the gums to repair damage caused by advanced gum disease. This procedure helps restore and protect the teeth.
