Fluoride treatment
Fluoride treatment was accepted as the decayed tooth prevention. Fluoride resist to acidity on the teeth surface.

How to apply fluoride to your teeth
A dentist in his or her office can also apply fluoride to the teeth as a gel, foam, or varnish. These treatments contain a much higher level of fluoride than the amount found in toothpastes and mouth rinses. Varnishes are painted on the teeth; foams are put into a mouth guard, which is applied to the teeth for one to four minutes; gels can be painted on or applied via a mouth guard.

How to apply dental sealant
Applying sealant is a simple and painless process. It takes only a few minutes for your dentist or hygienist to apply the sealant to seal each tooth. The application steps are as follows:

1.First the teeth that are to be sealed are thoroughly cleaned.

2.Each tooth is then dried, and cotton or another absorbent material is put around the tooth to keep it dry.

3.An acid solution is put on the chewing surfaces of the teeth to roughen them up, which helps the sealant bond to the teeth.

4.The teeth are then rinsed and dried.

5.Sealant is then painted onto the tooth enamel, where it bonds directly to the tooth and hardens. Sometimes a special curing light is used to help the sealant harden.
