Protect teeth by sealing teeth

Despite very good dental care, bacteria can settle in depressions on the tooth surface and damage the tooth. For this reason, very large depressions and furrows (fissures) represent an increased risk of caries. To prevent these depressions, the dentist can specifically close them using a special procedure, the so-called "fissure sealant". Read all important information about tooth sealing here and find out how you can protect yourself privately against possible costs.

Useful especially for children and teenagers

Strong fissures occur primarily on large occlusal surfaces. A tooth seal is therefore particularly suitable as an additional protective measure for the permanent molars or molars, especially for children whose teeth often have larger fissures and require special protection. The first molars break through in children around the age of 6. The second molars follow at the age of 12. At the appropriate age, it makes sense to carry out a tooth seal for the molars and additionally strengthen the teeth with fluoride. Adequate sealing can reduce the risk of caries at an early age. However, sealing is also possible regardless of age if there are significant fissures that represent an increased risk of caries.

Each parent remembers their childish fear of visiting the dentist. Today, children have nothing to fear if they go to the dentist with the right care and use of hygiene products and procedures that are widely used in modern children’s dentistry.

Hygiene measures must be carried out long before the baby’s teeth are cut: it is necessary to remove the plaque from the gums and rub it with a piece of gauze soaked in boiling water. With the appearance of teeth, you can go to a special silicone brush that the mother puts on her finger. After a while, it is worth buying a real baby toothbrush: it should be arranged with a small head and soft bristles, in the form of bars of different heights. It is important that the brush liked the baby, so it is better to choose bright options: colorful brushes, fairy-tale brushes, ultrasound or electric.
