Hence, dental visits for children should be early & frequent. Proper brushing, flossing, regular professional cleaning and a healthy diet will ensure a healthy dentition. Apart from the routine procedures, children may require treatments like sealants & fluoride treatment. Sealants are thin coatings on the chewing surfaces & deep grooves of the back teeth which seal the tooth surface, creating a smooth and easy to clean surface; thus reducing the chances of decay. In fluoride treatment, a mineral solution is applied on the tooth to strengthen it and prevent decay. If any procedure is not possible on the chair, it can also be done under general anesthesia.
