Dental decay "cavities" - Dr. Rand Waldron
can help!
We
have a complete decay prevention program, customized to each individuals
needs. Rather than accept continual decay and loss of teeth you can be
more proactive in your own and your family's oral health.Fluoride has
been a great benefit to patients of all ages in helping prevent dental
decay. Regular brushing and flossing lowers the chance of accumulating
bacteria and developing "cavities."
To prevent decay, a plastic-like coating called a sealant should be painted on the chewing surfaces of all the back teeth. Studies have shown that sealants can reduce tooth decay by as much as 90% to 100%
in the Las Vegas area and nation wide.
The American Dental Association recommends, and Dr. Waldron agrees, that sealants be placed as soon as the first adult back teeth come in at age 6 or 7. Sealants should continue to be used as each adult back tooth comes into the mouth. All back teeth that need to be sealed are
usually present by age 13. Sealant application is simple, fast, and painless.
Please call Dr. Rand Waldron
with any questions you may have about the
benefits using a sealant in preventing dental decay.
