1. Application of   pit and fissure sealants

Pit and fissure sealants can be utilized as a primary prevention tool when the tooth or the patient is at an increased risk of experiencing caries or as a secondary prevention method interrupting the progression of incipient caries.

The indications for placing a pit and fissure sealant are as follows:

a.  Pits and fissures of deciduous teeth in children when the tooth, or the patient, is at an increased risk of experiencing caries

b.  Pits and fissures of permanent teeth in children and adolescents when the tooth, or the patient, is at risk of experiencing caries

c.  Pits and fissures of permanent teeth in adults when the tooth, or the patient, is at risk of experiencing caries

2. Brushing

Brushing your teeth twice a day is important because it helps remove plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. Plaque can cause tooth decay and gum disease if it is not removed. Brushing your teeth twice a day also helps to prevent bad breath.

3. Use of mouth wash and dental floss

Mouthwash is an important step of your 3-part oral hygiene routine. Since brushing and flossing physically remove most of the sticky plaque buildup and food debris, rinsing is an excellent way to holistically address any leftover germs or food particles in your mouth.
