at Oasis Family Dental are determined to create enjoyable experiences for everyone in your family. By taking the fear out of visiting the dentist, and turning checkups into something your child actually looks forward to, the next generation of childhood memories could be very pleasant when thinking about early dental appointments.

Dental Sealants

Tooth decay occurs when the hard layer of your tooth enamel is compromised. Brushing twice a day, flossing, and seeing the dentist every six months will go a long way in avoiding childhood tooth decay. Sealants are a great way to provide extra protection to an already power-packed hygiene routine. Thin layers of protective material are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. There are microscopic nooks and crevices that are harder to reach with regular brushing. Sealants will keep these areas sealed off from food debris and bacteria.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride occurs naturally in water and air. Water fluoridation has become more and more commonplace since WWII. Infusing tap water supplies with the compound has resulted in 60% less tooth decay in the United States. Children’s teeth are particularly susceptible to cavities. Even if baby teeth aren’t permanent, they still need to be taken care of and allowed to fall out naturally. For that reason, brushing twice a day with a toothpaste containing fluoride, drinking tap water that is infused with fluoride, and getting fluoride treatments from your Temecula dentists are all important parts of childhood dental health.
