Prevention is the easiest way to keep your teeth and gums healthy and avoid tooth decay and dental treatment.  Your SmileCare dentist has services and products that can make that prevention easy and affordable. 


Sealants

A sealant is a thin plastic material placed on the chewing surface of permanent back teeth to act as a barrier to tooth decay. The sealant bonds to the tooth surface so that plaque bacteria cannot get into the pits and fissures.

Fluoride and Varnish

Fluoride is effective in preventing and reversing the early signs of tooth decay. Research has shown that it strengthens the tooth structure, making it stronger and more resistant to acid attacks. Acid is formed when the bacteria in plaque break down carbohydrates in the foods we eat. Repeated acid attacks break down the tooth, causing cavities. Fluoride also repairs, or re-mineralizes, areas in which acid attacks have already started. Re-mineralization reverses early decay and creates a more resistant tooth surface.   Vanish Varnish is an alternative to flouride.  It is placed by your dentist or dental hygieinist and lasts up to 6 months.

The MI Paste™ and MI Paste Plus™ Family

MI Paste is the only product for professional use containing the active ingredient RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP), a special milk-derived phosphopeptide that binds calcium and phosphate to tooth surfaces, plaque and surrounding soft tissue. MI Paste is a water-based, sugar-free créme that is applied directly to the tooth surface or oral cavity. MI Paste with RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) restores the oral mineral imbalances that cause demineralization by replacing minerals while improving saliva flow and fluoride uptake as well as soothing sensitive surfaces - making it an ideal treatment for:

• Reversing tooth sensitivity and restoring enamel gloss after whitening procedures
• Relieving dry mouth caused by certain medications
• Reducing high oral acid levels from excessive soft drink consumption
• Reversing tooth sensitivity before and after professional cleaning
• Reducing high oral acid levels - sometimes a consequence of pregnancy
• Buffering acids produced by bacteria and plaque
• Regular conditioning during orthodontics, during and after bands or brackets have been removed, to prevent and reverse white spot lesions
• Providing a topical coating for patients suffering from erosion, caries and conditions arising from xerostomia (dry-mouth)

• After tooth whitening
• For pregnant women
• For children six years and under
• During and/or after orthodontics
