This patient came in for a check-up & clean concerned about yellow teeth and bad breath. They had never been to a dentist before and had a big social engagement later that day. We used the EMS Airflow Prophylaxis Master system to remove the extensive yellow and brown build up (calculus, stain and bacteria) and recommended the patient come back for regular cleanings every 6 months keeping their teeth white and breath fresh.

This young 5 ½ year old patient was great in the dental chair and wanted fissure sealants like their older cousins. A fissure is 5x more likely to develop decay than any other tooth surface. In children and adolescents, the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars are the most vulnerable. A white glass ionomer fissure sealant was used to protect these teeth from decay. Glass ionomers are easy to place and release fluoride.

This young patient was brought in by mum for a routine check-up and clean appointment. Mum had mentioned she was worried about the effectiveness of this young patient’s toothbrushing. Examination revealed plaque retention in the fissure of the upper first permanent molar. A glass ionomer fissure sealant was placed to remineralize the enamel and protect this tooth from tooth decay. Quick and easy, mum and patient happy.

This young patient was brought in by dad with a sensitive tooth to sweet foods. Examination revealed fissure caries on the distal half of the upper left permanent molar. Decay was removed and the cavity filled with a small composite resin filling. The remaining fissure was protected with a fluoride releasing glass ionomer sealant, protecting this part of the tooth from future decay.
