The permanent teeth, even with their facial appearance are prone to tooth decay due to lower their mineral content. In addition, the chewing surfaces can have deep pits and fissures (cracks) in which the food retains and increases the risk of caries. If their presence is established by the dentist, it is desirable that they be “silanized” – sealed with a special material that prevents the further detention of food and prevent the occurrence of caries in occlusal surfaces of teeth. For silanizing teeth of your child, contact the dentist even when it reaches six years – when the first sprout teeth – six. The term “sealants” means a composite plastic that dentists put in the crevices of the chewing surfaces of teeth to prevent dental caries in these. The dental caries is caused by bacteria found in dental plaque. The longer the plate is in contact with the tooth surface, the probability of formation of caries increases. Such as cleaning teeth with a brush, we aim to remove the accumulated plaque from the tooth surface. However, because of peculiarities in the anatomy of some teeth cleaned more difficult than others. This is particularly true for molars as cracks that are present on their surface are very deep and narrow. Even a person to clean your teeth very thoroughly, can not clear the plate in these bottlenecks because of the brush hairs can not penetrate there. These teeth are at increased risk of caries.
