Sealants and prophylaxis in pregnant women, children and adults
It's easy not to think about our teeth when we have no discomfort and pain, but tooth problems can start without warning. Prophylaxis and treatment of oral diseases at an early stage is a reasonable investment in your health in the long run.
Maintaining healthy teeth and gums is a part of your overall health care.
Our goal is to help patients of all ages keep their teeth and gums healthy for a long time through preventive dentistry.
- Just as the name indicates, preventative dentistry is designed to prevent large problems in the oral cavity.
- The two main reasons for tooth loss are caries and gum disease. The sooner you prevent or cope with these two problems, the greater the chance of keeping your teeth for a lifetime.
- With regular preventive care, potential problems can be detected early and treated in a minimally invasive (gentle) way. This saves you the pain, the inconvenience, the prolonged and frequent visit to the dentist's office and the great dental costs.
Preventive care for adults includes:
- regular dental examinations and X-rays if needed. Regular prophylactic examinations, most often twice a year, allow us to identify potential problems as early as possible. They mean early detection and simple solutions that keep your smile healthy and beautiful;
- cleaning and removing plaque and tartar at 6 months;
- checking the gums and bone around the teeth for signs of gum disease;
- dental caries check;
- checking existing restorations - fillings, veneers, inlays, overlays, crowns, bridges, prostheses and implants;
- bite analysis;
- good daily oral hygiene;
- healthy and balanced diet.
Preventive care for children includes:
- regular prophylactic examinations in practice; • placing sealants and fluoride prophylaxis;
- early detection of caries and risk assessment of their formation;
- bite analysis;
- training parents and children in appropriate techniques for toothbrushing and toothpastes, cleansing between teeth by floss and interdental brushes;
- healthy eating habits;
- building daily hygiene habits.
Preventive Care for Pregnant Women:
- regular dental examinations;
- cleaning and removing plaque and tartar;
- checking for any signs of gum disease that increase the risk of preeclampsia, premature birth;
- dental caries check;
- checking the oral cavity for potential infections that could lead to the need for emergency treatment;
- balanced diet and building healthy eating habits;
- good daily hygiene habits, especially during the first trimester, a period often associated with nausea and vomiting.
We understand that many people are worried about visiting a dentist. Some of them link the visit with pain, others are worried about the condition of their teeth. The truth is that regular preventive dental care protects you from pain, discomfort, and saves you money.
