Fluoride treatments are a simple, painless way to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent decay. Fluoride draws calcium and phosphorus to the surface of your teeth, aiding in remineralization. This helps reverse early stages of decay and prevents new cavities from forming. The treatment is quick and can be applied right after a cleaning, taking just a few minutes.

Dental sealants are made from a special resin that forms a protective barrier against cavities. After a cleaning, the resin is applied in liquid form to the chewing surfaces of your molars and hardened with a blue UV light. This creates a durable, transparent shield that prevents bacteria, acids, and food particles from damaging your teeth, effectively reducing the risk of cavities.

Periodontal care involves treatments like scaling and root planing to address gum disease. This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the tooth roots to prevent further bacterial buildup. Antibiotics may also be used to eliminate any lingering bacteria.

In more advanced cases of gum disease, surgical treatments like gum grafting may be necessary. This procedure involves taking healthy tissue from another part of the mouth, such as the roof, and attaching it to the gums to repair damage. Gum grafting helps restore gum health and protect the teeth.
