FISSURE SEALING
Preventive therapeutic procedures that are most often used in children are removal of soft deposits and filling of fissures. One of the most effective methods is to fill the fissures. During this procedure, materials of special composition are applied to deep spaces on the biting surfaces of the teeth, which prevents food retention and prevents the formation of caries on the lateral teeth. It is one of the most effective methods in caries prevention.
The shelf life of watering cans is quite individual and usually lasts between three and five years, and often longer. What is necessary to emphasize and what is indispensable for longevity is flawless and regular brushing of teeth, as well as regular check-ups at the dentist, every 3 and 6 months. Fissure sealing is also a good preparation, especially for children, for future visits and further therapy, because it is a painless and minimally invasive intervention.
Fissure sealing must be preceded by removal of soft deposits. In this way, food residues and dental plaque from all tooth surfaces are completely eliminated. It is painless and very suitable for children to get used to the sound of dental instruments, and at the same time clean their teeth from dental plaque. It is recommended to use appropriate tablets for the detection of dental plaque before starting. These tablets contain pigments that color the dental plan, so that it is noticeable and visually visible to children.
Pediatric dentistry is a branch of dentistry that is narrowly specialized in working with children, as its name suggests. This area of dentistry should be given great importance primarily because we acquire the habits of good oral hygiene from an early age, and thus affect the prevention and prevention of disease in the dento – facial region.
Due to their numerous and diverse developmental stages, children are really a special category of patients and require special methods of work. It is desirable for a good pediatric dentist to be patient, approachable and relaxed, and to be able to explain everything related to dental hygiene in a simple, picturesque and interesting way and thus adjust the child for the best possible cooperation. A good pediatric dentist can work quickly, because children can be impatient and scared, and it is up to the dentist to remove that fear.
The moment when you take your child for the first examination at the dentist is also extremely important. While the teeth are still healthy, the child will have a pleasant first experience at the dentist, where he will get acquainted with the space that surrounds him and with his doctor. It is very important to bring children at a younger age to the dental office for the first time, in order to acquaint the child with the new environment and procedures, as well as the entire process of adaptation as easily and pleasantly as possible for the child. The pediatric dentist will assess how to approach the child and make a decision on the sequence of therapeutic procedures, so that the child’s adaptation is as easy and comfortable as possible.
