Sealing and fluoroprophylaxis: extra protection for children's teeth
At CENTRO ANDRIOLO we use effective and safe preventive tools. sealing consists of applying a protective resin to the grooves of the back teeth, where plaque most easily accumulates. fluoroprophylaxis, on the other hand, strengthens tooth enamel by making it more resistant to acid attacks. Both treatments are quick, painless, and critical to reducing the risk of tooth decay in children.
Nutrition and daily hygiene: prevention starts at home
A balanced diet and correct oral hygiene daily are essential to prevent tooth decayin children. Reducing sugar consumption, avoiding frequent snacks and drinking plenty of water help maintain a healthy oral environment. It is important to brush teeth after every meal, use age-appropriate fluoride toothpastes and, when necessary, supplement with dentist-recommended mouthwashes. Prevention is a good habit that is built day by day.

The stages of the pathway
The visit
During the first visit, the pedodontist searches for holes in the enamel using a sharp probe. If during the probing of the furrows the probe becomes blocked, there is confirmation of dentin softening. Technological confirmation is then made through the use of radiographs.
