Cavity Prevention Treatment in Fletcher, NC
Proactive Protection Against Tooth Decay
We reduce cavity risk with professional fluoride, sealants, and simple, personalized guidance. By considering diet, saliva flow, medications, enamel strength, and home care, we create a plan that fits your routine—so enamel stays strong and treatment stays conservative.
How We Help Prevent Cavities
Professional Fluoride
Topical fluoride strengthens enamel and helps remineralize early enamel lesions before they turn into cavities.
Protective Sealants
Clear coatings shield deep grooves on molars where toothbrush bristles can’t reach, reducing decay risk.
Diet & Home‑Care Tips
Simple changes—like limiting frequent snacking and brushing with fluoride toothpaste—make a big difference.
Prevention for Every Age
Risk changes from childhood to adulthood. We tailor prevention to enamel strength, diet, medications, and saliva flow, and may recommend high‑fluoride pastes, xylitol, calcium‑phosphate, or custom trays for targeted protection.
