Preventive Protection Tailored to Your Needs
Fluoride treatments and dental sealants provide added protection for teeth that are more vulnerable to decay. These preventive services strengthen enamel and shield hard-to-clean areas, helping reduce the risk of cavities over time. At Crescencia Tejero-Ugay, DDS, Inc., we recommend fluoride and sealants based on your individual risk factors, age, and oral health history.
Our Sunnyvale dental team focuses on prevention that feels practical, comfortable, and easy to understand.
Why Added Tooth Protection Matters
Even with good brushing and flossing habits, certain areas of the teeth remain more prone to decay. Fluoride and dental sealants provide an extra layer of defense that helps protect teeth between routine visits. This additional protection can reduce the need for future dental treatment and support long-term oral health.
