| Cavities..
Prevention
and Control! |
The main intention of modern,
dental treatments is preventing
the formation of cavities
and the appearance of diseases.
Cavities are a breaking
down of the teeth’s
surface, caused by bacterial
plaque. Plaque
is a sticky film formed
from bacterias that breakdown
the sugars and starches
in the foods we eat into
an acid that dissolves the
enamel. (Grade 1).
If the cavity is not detected
and eliminated, it will
interfere with the enamel
and attack the dentin (Grade
2). Once the cavity
has affected the tooth nerve,
it will cause intense pain.
(Grade 3). |
Ultrasonic Cleaning: A
Professional Dental Cleaning
must be realised every
6 months.
|
| An Ultrasonic Cleaning includes: |
| • Elimination
of bacterial plaque
surrounding the teeth
and gums. |
| • Polishing
that prevents the
retention of plaque
leaving the surface
whiter and softer. |
| • Application
of flouride that remineralizes
the enamel preventing
cavities and dental
sensibility. |
|
| Dental Sealants |
It
is a material that is applied
to the surfaces of the back
chewing teeth, like a barrier,
protecting the enamel against
plaque and acids. Children
and adults can both benefit
from this treatment.

| Sport Mouth Guards |
A
mouth guard is device made
from flexible plastic, that
is used during practices
and games, to protect the
teeth from any trauma.
|
| Nighttime Sleep Guards |
They
are used to protect the
teeth, in cases where patients
profoundly grind the teeth
and molars. Over time, this
pressure on the teeth can
wear away the teeth and
fracture the dental tissue
and in some advanced cases,
the nerves inside of the
teeth. The nighttime guard
will help to reduce mistreating
your teeth.
