There are many preventive actions you can take against cavities, tooth decay, and disease. Dental sealants are a great method for children and adults, as the tooth is painted with a tooth-colored acrylic coating, which essentially seals and protects the grooves and inner tooth, blocking it from acids and plaque. Another simple preventative measure you can take is cleaning treatments, which should be performed at least twice a year. Undergoing this method will remove plaque, halt any progression of gingivitis, makes your breath fresher, and your smile bright and healthy.
