Pedodontics
Children’s oral health ranges from:
Prevention:
- Fissure seals: when the teeth’s anatomical grooves are deeper, there’s a high risk of cavities, as hygiene in these areas is more complicated. Sometimes our specialist suggests a fissure sealing treatment, which consists of filling up these grooves, facilitating brushing and avoiding the risk of cavities.
- Fluoridations: when there’s a tendency to tooth decay, periodic fluoridations will be advised to strengthen teeth.
Education:
- Hygiene guidelines
- Eating guidelines
Treatments:
- Fillings
- Extractions
