How to Prevent Caries
Patient education Fluorides Dental sealants Proper nutrition Plaque-control program Optimum oral health can become a reality.
Use the intraoral camera to aid patient education, showing patients a close-up view of their teeth
Ways of Receiving Fluoride
Systemic fluoride is ingested in Supplements(drops or tablets) Food eg (potatoes ,bananas, tea leaves, citrus fruits and fish) Fluoridated water is available bottled or through the community. Topical fluoride
2)Topical fluoride. Applied directly to the teeth through the use of fluoridated toothpastes, mouth rinses and topical applications of gels, foams, and varnishes.

Action Of Flouride
The fluorides used in the dental office have been proved safe and effective when used as recommended. Chronic overexposure to fluoride, even at low concentrations, can result in dental fluorosis in children younger than 6 years with developing teeth.
Dental Fluorosis
Geographical areas associated with groundwater having over 1.5mg/L of naturally occurring fluoride, which is above recommended levels.
Sugar Substitutes
The more common dietary sugars are presented. The cariogenic potential of carbohydrates are presented too.
Toothbrush The two basic types of toothbrushes are Manual Automatic Used properly, both types are effective in the removal of dental plaque.
Toothbrushing Precautions
Dental floss and tape Used in persons with normal proximal contact between their teeth
Woodsticks and interdental brushes They are indicated in patients with wide interdental spaces because of gingival recession and/or loss of periodontal attachment.
Chlorhexidine Chlorhexidine has highly positive charge, which is responsible for reducing the number of Streptococcus mutans. Patients are advised to do 0.12 chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse for one minute twice a day for seven days.
Patient education Requires a partnership between the patient and the dental team Used to develop and maintain good oral habits
What is the benefit of using an intraoral camera (To show patients a close-up view of their teeth.)
What is demineralization (The removal of mineral components from mineralized tissues.) What is remineralization (The process of restoring minerals to a mineralized tissue that has been demineralized.)
Systemic fluroide is available in bottled water, meat, vegetables, cereals, citrus fruits, tea, and fish. Topical fluoride is included in in-office application of fluoride, fluoride rinses, and fluoride toothpastes.
Sealants are generally placed on permanent teeth, but sealants can be placed on primary teeth if a child is susceptible to decay. Can sealants be placed on anterior teeth (Yes, on the lingual pits of anterior teeth.)
Xylitol is derived from birch trees, corn cobs, oats, bananas, and certain mushrooms. Studies are continually conducted to determine why xylitol prevents tooth decay.
What is plaque (A soft deposit on the teeth consisting of bacteria and bacterial products.) How is plaque removed from the teeth Once removed, it takes plaque 24 hours to reaccumulate.
Toothbrush When used with a fluoridated toothpaste, a toothbrush can be very effective. Many sizes are available (infant, child/teen, adult, appliances). What type of toothbrushes do the students use
