Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings that are used on the surface of the back molar to fill natural fissures and pits where bacteria collect. The coating acts as a strong barrier to decay and helps to prevent cavities. Dental sealants can be clear, white, or slightly tinted, but nearly invisible. The tooth enamel does not contain any nerves, placing a sealant is painless and does not routinely require numbing shots.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride is a naturally-occurring mineral and it makes the teeth more resistant to decay. It can even stop small cavities that are just beginning to form. At Apollo Dental, we provide fluoride treatments to those patients who are not getting enough fluoride. The fluoride is applied directly to the teeth. It is a quick, easy and single visit procedure.

Laser Decay Diagnosis

Advanced laser technology can be used to detect tooth decay at the earliest stages. The laser diode inspects individual teeth by comparing the baseline wavelengths of healthy teeth to find areas of a demineralized tooth. As a comparison:

We will inspect each susceptible tooth to hunt out demineralization and offer the minimally invasive treatment. The sooner a cavity is detected and stopped, the healthier is the tooth structure. Our experts at Apollo Dental will aid the patients to keep their teeth strong and healthy.
