Preventive Dental Treatments
At Destination Pediatric Dentistry, we believe prevention is the key to a lifetime of healthy smiles.
In addition to regular checkups and cleanings, our team offers advanced preventive treatments like fluoride varnish, silver diamine fluoride (SDF), and dental sealants. These safe and effective options help protect your child’s teeth from cavities and reduce the need for more complex dental work in the future.
Dental Sealants
Back teeth have little grooves where food and bacteria love to hide, making them the most common place for cavities in kids. Dental sealants act like a protective shield, sealing those grooves and keeping teeth safe from decay. The process is quick, painless, and provides long-lasting protection so your child can enjoy a healthier smile with less risk of cavities.
Fluoride Varnish
Fluoride is a natural way to strengthen tooth enamel and help prevent cavities from forming. At your child’s checkup, we may recommend a gentle fluoride varnish treatment. It’s brushed right onto the teeth in just seconds, and it goes to work immediately to reinforce enamel and fight off decay. This simple step makes a big difference in keeping little smiles strong between visits.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)
For some children with early cavities, we may recommend silver diamine fluoride, also known as SDF. This treatment can stop or delay cavities from getting worse, buying valuable time until a more permanent solution is needed. It’s quick, non-invasive, and especially helpful for young children or those who aren’t ready for traditional dental work yet.
