What is a dental sealant?
A dental sealant is a thin plastic coating applied to the grooves on the chewing surfaces of healthy, decay-free teeth. Sealants create a barrier against food and bacteria. Newly erupted tooth enamel requires three years to mature, making young teeth particularly vulnerable to decay during that period.
What is fluoride treatment?
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that has been utilised for many years to help prevent tooth decay. Bacteria and sugars form acids that erode enamel, fluoride strengthens enamel and prevents decay across all age groups.
While fluoride can help reverse early tooth decay and prevent cavities, proper oral hygiene, good eating habits and regular dental visits are necessary to aid in the life of your teeth.
Caught early, cavities are easier to treat.
A cavity is a hole in the tooth. If your cavity just started, a fluoride treatment may help restore your tooth's enamel and can sometimes reverse a cavity in the very early stages.

Space Maintainers
A space maintainer is custom-made by a dentist using acrylic or metal material. It can be either removable or cemented in a child's mouth. Its purpose is to keep the space open to allow the permanent tooth to erupt and come into place.
